I got lucky once. Used 2 thin nuts, tighten them together, then was able to back the stud out. I found out the stud was stripped. I put in a new stud using the 2 thin nuts again (a tad past finger tight), then tightened a new stud nut.
Another time I found that the thread in the block was stripped. Had to drill larger hole and use a timesert. Had to remove head.
