Use a centerpunch to start off right.

Exactly. I soak the studs before (not in many years) then punch and
hammer. Helps loosen the freeze early. The pilot hole IMO is the most
important.

The better approach is only break one stud and learn, but not three.

you can also buy reverse twist dril bits,so the bit acts like a screw
removed while it's drilling a hole.

I've got a 20 year old 5 piece Extractor Tool set....love it, but
never need it (GRIN).
