Looks like you got it already, but I was going to suggest the WD40 method also. It seems like every stud would break, but someone suggested that method and it worked. I spray and let them soak for awhile before trying. When I did finally stared with a nut, I would lightly go back & forth until it seemed like it would back off easily. I don’t believe I have broken any since then.
