Exclamation 89 B-700 Exhaust Problem -- HELP!!!!

Hi all ---

89 Ford B-700 (read: Long Frame F-700 with a bus body) , 429-4V...

The problem I'm having is that the driver's side exhaust manifold cracked (I understand this to be a common problem with 370s and commercial 429s) -- Bought a new one (from A-1 Auto over the InterNet if anyone needs one, about $90 each) and when I removed the old one, five of the studs broke off in the cylinder head....

Does anyone have any ideas on how to get them out? I can't put the new manifold on until I fix this. Fortunately, I don't HAVE to have the thing fixed right away, it's being used as a mobile surveillance office. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
