What's the easiest possable way to get them out. The very front one broke and the 2 back ones broke. Any ideas? Or a high heat gasket sealer or something? Anything would help

How much of the stud is sticking out? Can you try grab it with a vise grip?

There are tools, but unless some stud is exposed, they all involve drilling a pilot hole. For rearward ones, this will require a smallish right angle drill. Patience and repeated application of PB Blaster is mandatory.
