I found a similar thing when I was doing my water pump. I found a local Service Station that was willing to drill out my broken studs. I removed exhaust manifold, radiator and anything else to give them clearance. I ended up with 5 broken studs while removing exuaust manifold. Only 2 when I started. They had all the room they needed and I didn't screw up the head trying to do it myself. Piece of mind having someone with the tools and experience to do it right. Of course I had to tow to the shop and back home again. Still cheaper then a new head. Good luck.
