Well i just had pretty much the same problem but the owner before me(he was an IDIOT!) 
decided to try and drill the stud out and tap the hole but he broke the tap off and at an angel so i took the intake off and had a machine shop here drill the tap out(i think the have to use an edm machine on it) and put a helicoil in it for 100 bucks! But now thats ist my car it'll hopefully never happen again
