Personally, I would get a second opinion to confirm that the problem is a stud that has actually broken. Garages have often been known to misdiagnose Omega faults / issues.

I'm not sure what is meant by angle grinded out? And in the context of the manifold?
Are we talking about one of the studs that connect the exhaust manifold to the cylinder head?
Or are we talking about the bolts that connect the downpipe and exhaust sections together.
Please clarify.
