Update.....
I bought a new Stud Plate, Part # 51803-07. Beast didn't have any problems getting the old bolts out of the plate, they are just pressed into the plate, not welded in.
Put one end in the vice, with threads looking up, take small ball peen hammer and give it a couple whacks...the screw will fall out.
Do the same to the other end.
Get two 1/4" x 1.25" bolts. He had some hex head bolts at the job. Replace the bolts on each end, tack weld the back to secure them. He sprayed a bit of black primer on the welds.
Voila! The chrome screw heads fit perfectly. Now I just have to figure out a way to replace the old one!
Hope this helps someone else with the same problem.

I wondered about that channel thing. When I ordered this part, I didn't have the part # you referenced, just told the parts guy what I needed and he looked it up. It's a simple fix so if I need the other one I'll get it.

Here's the info on the part I used:
59174-99. Same used on touring bikes and softails since 99. If you put your bike on a jack and get the pressure off the rear wheel and shocks you can get a hand between the fender and the wheel (on a softail) and get the part out.
