I drilled out the last one today. There was one stud left that actually unscrewed properly when I was removing the exhaust. Ironically this was the first one I loosened.
I was planning to leave that one alone.
Anywho, I picked up some drill bits this week at Lidl, the grocery store. They advertised HSS bits for $3.99 so I picked up 2 sets. Holy crap, I got through that bolt in only 14 minutes. I was completely surprised.

To recap, make sure you have a good set of bits. Start with a size about 1/8" and get the hole all the way through. Then work your way up to about 8.5mm.
