I took my oil tank to a old radiator shop about 12 years ago.
Came back several days later and it was stripped to bare naked beauty.
$8. Its steel though.
I don't know what they use to hot tank them but a quick google search says any type of caustic acid is a no no for aluminum.
That said auto machine shops are set up to do this type of cleaning work on cases/blocks/heads, etc. They will advise.
See 1:35 in on this video.

Do yourself a favor and have them take your old studs out. You also don't have to break the bank for wizz-bang high tech studs. Just get the proper steel studs in the later 911's.
Shawn @ Tru6 could work wonders with your steel brackets and cadmium plate parts.
