Yes.
My MIG is only a 125 amp 110 volt Lincoln, but it's worked fine for stud removal like this. I try to get the broken as stud hot as possible with the weld. That way it should shrink more as it cools.

I haven't tried the wax method, but heating the stud, then letting wax touch the stud and flow into the threads is said to work well for easing the removal (before the break).
