If all else fails, and I do mean all else, cut the stud off flush with the head. Drill down the center of whats left with a small, then progressively larger drills. At some point you should approach the minor diameter of the tapped hole and then you can take a punch or chisel and rotate what's left out. Some people have suggested moderately heating studs and dripping candle wax down on the stud. The wax is supposed to be drawn down into the thread area, but I never had much luck with it.
