Is there enough to maybe get a vise grip or something like that onto it and twist?

you should just get one of those easy out things.

it has teeth in the reverse pattern, so you drill into the broken stud, then stick that sucker in the drilled part and it grips the stud to pull it out.

then you wont have to re-tap the hole for another size or whatever.

First stud on my exhaust snapped off to. Worst thing was it's almost 1/4 inch INSIDE the head.Just soak it in some kind of penetrating oil to loosen the threads up, punch the CENTER of the broken stud. Then very carefully drill a small hole. Then gradually increase size(this way you keep it straight so you don't fubar the threads). Then just jam the ez-out in the hole and reverse the drill. If all works well, it should grab into it, you'll get a nice crack sound as the stud comes loose and it'll back out just fine.
