You're pretty much gonna *need* to pull the head, trying to get a stud out without doing so is a painful process. Hell, it can be a painful process *without* pulling the head...
As to how you get the stud out, a lot depends on what tools you have, and how the stud is broken. If there's any of the stud left protruding, your life might be made somewhat easier. If it's flush, you *might* get it out with a fine punch and a hammer. I'd steer clear of extractors, if you snap one off in the remnants of the stud you're in for a helluva job. I've made that mistake before.
This is a good link - it's for Volvo cars <spit>, but it's alu heads and steel studs, so relevant - Exhaust
