Drill a 1/16 inch hole through the stud
Drill a 1/8 inch hole through the stud
Drill a 1/4 hole through the stud
After I drilled the 1/16 inch hole in the remaining stud, it started to turn. I don't think I actually used the 1/4 bit - it came out with the 1/8 bit. This was with using red loctite.

I'll be replacing all of them annually after this experience and seeing this page:

Or I'll be considering their press-in stud conversion.
Go with the Core4 press-in MSI solution. You won't regret it! I'm surprised you broke a rear stud, I thought the fronts were the primary culprit.
