Yes but maybe just running the proper size thread restorer, or dye, will "un bugger" the threads and removal is not necessary. If not, double nut the exposed threaded section and it should back right out. If you get some resistance, apply some penetrating oil and let it sit for a while before trying to back back it out. Use the same double nut technique to install the new studs.
Left handed drill bit, then used EZ out and slowly threaded stud back out... some serious luck 😬
That is one way to get it done. Some are stuck so tight, EZ Outs will break; sometimes being luck is better than being smart. Use some anti-sieze on the new stud.
