Healey Nut

So after heat cycling the fresh engine in the 64 I retorque the head . No worries no leaks etc all good .
I go in the garage this morning to do some tinkering and theres a puddle of coolant on the floor ......F%@#&!!!@%#&&@@.
So after a lot of cursing and cleaning I find it leaking from the cylinder head but decide to just run the car later and see if it seals up .
So I move onto a diiferent project but discover a sheared cylinder head stud sitting where the drivers seat should be and the perfect imprint of a cylinder head nut directly above the engine in the drywall ceiling . It must have gone off like a rifle shot !!!
So now my dilema is how to remove the remaining piece . Its sheared about 3/16' above the block , I really dont want to have to pull the head off etc, the idea of all that work just makes me want to set fire to the whole thing .
It shouldnt be tight as I had all the studs out during the engine rebuild so Im thinking of welding an easy out to a rod and drilling into the stud remnant with a long series drill bit ?
Any other suggestions ? Other than setting fire to the whole thing ........
