For the head studs you can "double nut them" (that is put two nuts on the
stud and tighten them together, then put a wrench on the bottom nut and
remove.  I sometimes put a lock washer in between the nuts but I'm not
sure if that does anything.  Also, sometime the use of a propane torche is
needed to heat the case around the stud to get it to "break free".  I have
no experience with the case studs.
