Use the old "two-nut" trick.

Thread a nut down the stud halfway. Thread another one down on top of it, and tighten them together (so they snug against each other).

Then, using a small open-ended wrench on the lower nut, back the stud out. The lower nut will act like a bolt head.

Alternatively, the top of those studs fits nicely into a small metric socket (can't recall which size though).
