Stripped Exhaust Stud. Help!!! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I think I may have stripped one of the studs on my driver side exhaust manifold on my 396. I am hoping it's just the brass nut I used but if it isn't what are my options. The motor is already lowered and bolted to the frame and transmission. I was trying to finish it up when one of the brass nuts would not grab anymore. Does the whole manifold need to be taken off to be repaired or can it be fixed with the motor in the truck? Please let me know because I think I am SOL...
