Default Broken Header stud

Ok so I was doing a CSB replacement and when getting the exhaust off I broke one of the studs in half.

How would I go about fixing this? Just drill it out and then replace it with another bolt?

It has to get replaced. If you broke it off and there is any sticking out, I'd get a Dremel and grind it flat on four sides and use a socket. It it is broke off flush, you'll have to drill it out.
