Any tips on pulling seized and striped studs?

If one is stripped inside the block it is damn near junk. If this is a 7 bolt you can drill and tap it to 12mm, 1/2" or whatever the 6 bolts are. If the block is junk however then there's no need to worry. Pull them out. You seem to want the head off pretty bad.. So do what you gotta' do.
