Snapped exhaust stud, exhaust leak so I drilled. I found out I drilled at a slight angle while drilling a snapped exaust mani stud. The stud was a few mm behind the surface of the head.

The hole is way off center, and heading towards aluminum.

Would a new head be the only way to salvage this opperation?
