Yup, it's obviously far easier to remove a seized nut than it is to go thru what you did so to remove a seized bolt.

The next person who wants to remove your headers, whoever that might be (hey, it might even be you, someday) would be grateful for your 'ounce of prevention' today thru the use of studs and nuts.

Honestly, I cannot imagine a good reason why studs and nuts were not used in the first place by the factory way back when. They'd never heard of dissimilar metal corrosion before?
