I'd be a bit wary of shearing off the stud. I think I'd just get straight into that with the drill. Carefully drill out one side of the bolt and it should then just spin off quite easily. A nut splitter tool would presumably work too, although I've never used one of those.

You can then get the collar off and remove the studs with a socket type stud extractor. Replace with stainless items and plenty of copperslip.

If I didn't need the exhaust off, I'd leave it alone.
