They actually make a very useful tool for doing this in the body shops, a "Stud Gun" and it also has other tips for doing heating and shrinking/stretching operations in dented areas, as well as tips for installing rivets for landau tops. The stud gun replaces the old screw in dent pullers of the 60's and back. I bought one 8 or 9 yrs ago, and its paid for itself several times over, I got the good one that came with a hand pull T-handle in it and a slide hammer, only thing I might ever need for it is a clamp attachment for grabbing groups of studs when doing big pulls with hydraulics.
