Aftermarket Cummins M11 Exhaust manifold bolts or studs?

I'm about to start sacrificing chickens, chanting Tibetan monk chants, burning incense, and alternating applications Acetone/Trans fluid, Kroil, and liquid wrench to appease the broken bolt Gods to hopefully not snap any manifold bolts when changing the manifold gaskets.

I don't see any "better" options on the internet and ARP does not show an application. Would studs be better or any other aftermarket options to make future work easier....as in less likely to snap off....in the head?

Anything else I should do preventative wise while I have the exhaust off?

Thanks in advance for your response.
