<VV> Exhaust Manirold studs

I need suggestions on how to successfully remove the studs from the exhaust
manifolds.  I've tried heating the manifold at the stud base area with a
propane torch and twisting the out, but it only broke the stud.  Before that
I soaked them good for a couple of days with PBlaster, but that didn't work
and was the reason for trying heat.

After the stud broke off, I drilled it and borrowed an easy out from my
neighbor, which promptly broke off.  Funny thing was, it was easier to drill
out the easy out than the stud.
