its easy. just take two nuts, then tighten them together on the stud. then wrench on the bottom nut and remove the stud.

Yes the two nuts or Vicegrip method works well.

if you apply enough pressure on the pliers and turn the stud from the blank section there will be no damage. the key is the grip on the pliers and how sharp the teeth are ...

i've tried the 2-nut method as well and it does work.
