Ordinarily that is how you would do it (that's what I did for the case studs) but the heat-disappating design of the head makes that a little difficult. What you do by heating the stud is you make it expand in the hole, breaking the corrosion bond.

I work at a railroad museum. This is a technique we use for removing boiler studs from steam locomotives. Parts are a little bigger though.
