Weld a washer to the sub-flush broken stud, then weld a bolt or nut to the washer and pray that it doesn’t snap. It took four or five attempts to fully remove the broken stud.

It also super heats the broken stud to help it break out

Works as long as it's an aluminum head

The
feeling of relief is huge
when it starts turning.
Working on cars in Wisconsin made me use this technique a lot. The heat expansion breaks the rust or corrosion bonds whether the stud is in aluminum or steel.

I’ve heard of the welding the bolt idea but not the idea of using a washer. That makes a lot of sense.....
