Of course, that might not be a permanent solution.

To move the stud, heat it, NOT the block. Take it to dull red and then use a proper stud extractor. I use PTFE tape on the threads to seal them. Of course, Stuart's from Lincolnshire so can afford fancy Loctite products. Those of us in Yorkshire have to be more careful with our money
