or you can use two of the arp nuts put one upside down on first then screw the next one on as normal then use a wrench on the bottom one

*Sigh* lock/tighten both nuts together, which actually involves turning one clockwise and one counter clockwise. then turn the bottom nut counter clockwise to remove the stud.

If you used vicegrips you probably already ruined the stud, you can try running a die over it to fix the threads if they don't look really bad.
