Got access to an oxy-acet setup? Given your situation, I would heat the broken bits to red and melt some candle wax on the old studs. Let it cool right down and center-punch the broken bits with a big punch and heavy hammer, CAREFULLY (did I mention carefully) drill right through the center of the studs and try a drive type easy out - not the twist type. If you happen to break the easy-out you can then drive it right through and go up to a bigger size. Obvious import things are to drill center so if it doesn't move you can go up in drill size until there is just the thread left and carefully pick it out. Slow and steady does the job.
Meantime you can sus out other options.
