A little heat MAY have helped me, but it was no trouble to drill them out.
Anyway, we digress from helping our friend with the snapped off studs!

With an acetylene torch you can heat them until they glow, and then they'll come out with a regular screwdriver with no effort at all. When I did my stepbrother's Accord, I only had a propane torch. I heated them as much as I could with that, then they came out with just a tap from the hand impact driver.
Before we can be of any more assistance with the snapped off studs, we'll need to know what year the car is. Ahh, Honda! About as reliable as they come, but not particularly DIYer-friendly
