Take a set of good bits, titanium or cobalt if you have them.
Start with a small bit in the center of the broken stud and drill it
through.
Get a larger bit and drill that through. Keep increasing bit size until you
get the meat of the stud out and collapse the shell with a screwdriver and a
small hammer.  Chase the threads with a tap.  If it's set in with locktite
or
anything like it, it won't come out easy so drill it out.  Watch your depth.
That's one question I can answer from experience with diesel engine pumps.
Happens all the time to them.

on the 1/8 one you could try to cut a groove in it and use a big screw
driver to get it to start backing out. I have had success with a small pipe
wrench on studs that stick out about 1/4" buut 1/8th  is a little too small
to get a bite on. the others look like your going to have to try to drill a
piolet hole and use the reverse thread bolt extractors. I changed all the
studs on my 440 heads  to bolts(except the end ones) and they didn't want to
come out without alot of wrenching and cursing. Be sure to use more
wrenching in your wrenching to cursing ratio...
