A simple way to do away with exhaust stud issues is to loosen and retighten them every time you adjust the valves. (Or every couple years.) The reason that exhaust studs snap is the nuts get sieved and that is because they have sat their unmoving for decades.
When I lived in The People's Republic of Kalifornia I swapped out the exhaust every 2 years. After the first time the nuts were never an issue. (Plus I use the nice small copper plated lock nuts from Hill Co.)
