Yes, it is possible to remove the remains of the stud, and from my experiences,it is quite cheaper to remove it than replace the head. If you are not capable of doing it your self, any machine BÚ"V uld be able to do it for you. Just be sure to remind them that the head is of aluminium, not steel. If the threads become damaged, have steel threads installed.
