The new OEM bearing/hub assembly doesn't come pressed in, so even that route you'd have to press it together.

I've reused studs before a few times, hit it with a softer hammer or put a block of wood in between the stud and hammer, they won't crown much. You may also want to put an open ended nut on it so after knocking it loose, you thread the nut off, cleaning up any threads that may be lightly damaged.
