Default broken cylinder head studs

Well, I went for a drive and was hot rodding around and blew my head gasket. I read up on how to do it and took all the precautions. I really tried to be careful, and I tried all the methods that Ive been reading about on how not to break the head studs, but mine were very fragile and the lightest touch of the wrench, I broke 7...


I tried heat, soaking in kroil for a week, more heat. No luck.


I welded a washer to the ones that broke flush to the block, and welded a nut on top of that washer, and gave it a turn, only to find that the stud would break, or twist off even further down. I think my only option is to drill them out...not sure. I did drill one, but it didn't come out like I hoped. it's been down for 2 weeks now, I'm not too happy with myself.
