Wd40 heat and go slow. If you snap them you need to get them out so it will need drilling and re tapping. or worse case will need a new head.

Run the engine till nice & hot,wire brush the studs soak in wd40 then try undoing them.

I soaked mine over night for a week or so in WD40

Mine came out easier then i was expecting (luck of the draw tbf).
