Hacksaw or a sawzall. Then knock the old stud out. and get a new one and get a mean-ass impact and another lug nut to pull it back through.

impact works alright you just have to be careful the stud doesnt get too hot and warp i know from experience wasnt good. press it in if possible and just to be extra safe i put a tac on it and that stud wont go anywhere

to get it off have someone pull on the wheel with all the other lug nuts off and use an impact and pull the stripped lug off.... push old out with hammer, then pull new one threw with impact.
