A method I favor applies heat to the stud using Mapp gas, warming it as quickly as possible without dragging out oxyacetylene. When the end is red (the aluminum head is a huge heat sink) shut off the torch, and quickly feed the joint some wax; I've used beeswax, candle wax, even a chapstick. Then apply vise grip pliers coaxing it both directions until it (always) loosens, to turn it right out. You still have to be somewhat aware as to how much force can be applied to materials, hot or cold.

If not successful, don't try an extractor. But you will be successful.
