I did one headstud like that, welding a nut on. Actually I have done several stud removals like that, but only one headstud.

The biggest problem is getting the weld to bite on the stud. It helps to make a spot weld on the stud first so there is a good base to weld on to. Othervice the puddle likes to just attach to the nut. Drilling out half the nut with a large drill bit to get a big v-shape groove around the stud is another tip.

You may have to repeat this procedure before having success.
