Default Shoring up potentially damaged studs without removing all the drywall?

The fear is that being a corner room, if the studs are compromised,
eventually the structure could be damaged. Removing the drywall would allow
new PT or metal studs to be inserted.

I'm wondering if there are alternatives. For example, some INJECTABLE
polymer or something, which could be inserted into holes drilled in the
wall, which would fill up any gaps in the studs and strengthen them?


Drywall is cheap. If there was some type of structural compound that
could be pumped into a wall, surely it would cost a lot more than re-
drywalling the room. Besides, if it's an exterior wall then it should
already be filled with insulation.
