I would strongly caution you to use a milling machine to remove the stud. It would be a 4-5 minute job tops VS a trashed head. You must pull the head to do this.

I just pulled 8 studs on my 53 year old tractor head. They were all to hard to drill on an uneven broken stud. After the 2nd stud let go at 12Ft Lbs on the torque wrench I'd made up my mind.

Replace the stud with a good quality part, not an Ebay Far East one.

If this job goes sideways a time cert sleeve can still save it if the drill walks off.

Pm me if you want to use my mill.
