One minor suggestion I would make subject to the disagreement of others. Since you have gone this far, I'd replace all of the remaining studs (if you can remove them w/o breaking them). The studs that did come out-what did the lower threads look like? Diminished or missing? Studs nuts/bolts/washers are inexpensive. I like to replace them when I can (and bundle them into the same shipping charge from MM).
