I managed to get about 5 of mine off after months of soaking with about every penetrating/release oil I could lay my hands on. Managed to dremel another 2 off without too many problems and only small slices taken off the threads on the studs. These were done one at a time to allow plenty of time to stop me rushing. Once the nuts were off they were replaced with stainless dome nuts. The last nut was impossible to get to with any control at the correct angles so I ended up cutting the exhaust off with the dremel as close to the clamp as I could and then dremelled the nut off.
Heating is worth a try if you have access to the kit.
The cost of stainless studs and nuts would put the price of a new bike up by about £5 I'd be prepared to pay the extra fiver
