Studs snap when the exhaust manifold warps in use.
I have had zero sucess in removing broken studs without removing the head first, access is a bit tight. You also need to check the manifold for cracks, if it is OK then get it skimmed or flatten the face by working it on a sheet of emery on an old thick mirror or piece of plate glass.
