Great stuff, Neil Harvey. Thanks for sharing.
The notion of a tap breaking implies some force beyond hand turning is required. Is the thread forming aspect of stud replacement best left to experienced hands ? I would think thread chasing with a old stud is a minimal torque affair.

I'm not saying I can't independently find an M10x1.5 forming tap. I just can't find one with a 6N thread fit

From this other head stud thread, sounds like the Supertec stud is thicker...
