Re: Broken stud
Is it a bolt that secures the oil pan? If so, pull one of the other oil pan bolts and use one of those to get the fastener dimensions.

The stud is 6mm wide, 28mm long. Just no thread pitch information. Probably M6x1.0, but that's just a guess

Common M6x1.0, and you could thread the nut from the stud in question onto any of the other bolts that have the same pitch.

but i think it's too thinner than 6mm wide
Just take a pan bolt in with you if you need an example to match up, that's the exact same thread diameter and pitch.

carefully drill it out a bit and use a screw extractor?
If, by chance, you accidentally drill out the threads, you can try tapping it with a larger tap (assuming there's adequate room to do so) or helicoil it to "restore" the threads.

If you can get it to come loose, you should then be able to unscrew it.
If drilling is necessary, I'd use left-hand drill bits. With great care and caution
