I also had a problem with destroyed studs. I did the same as Yaofeng- cut them flush, then drill them out. Spend a few extra $$ and buy some good quality drill bits for this purpose - not the funky wood bits you may have knocking about in your toolbox. Make your first hole with a 1/8", then open it up with a larger bit. Buy some stainless hardware - nuts and bolts- at the hardware store for a couple of bucks. Just buy whatever drill size you buy bolts for.
I used good quality high-speed bits and some cutting oil, and it took me only about 15 minutes to drill out both old studs. The difference between a good bit and a so-so bit is tremendous.
Then slather everything in anti-sieze, and the next time will be cake.
