No. But the 'stud' is designed to be removable. It's actually a pin that
goes through a tube in the frame, and the head is tapped for an extractor.
Lots of them have "become one" over the years, but I was able to get mine
out.
Ken G. once told me that the dealer mechanics, rather than messing with the
extractor, would drill a hole through the sill and use a drift & BFH to
drive the pin out. Afterwards, they just stuck a chrome plug in the hole &
return the car that way.
