I'd say replace the HG. It's only going to get worse. I've done a number of backyard mechanic HG replacements on various vehicles without getting a machine shop involved-- most recently my 96 and 98 CSEs. Usually the valves and timing gear are good enough. I assume the risk of screwing up and drill and extract the broken studs with hand tools.
