If your running tall enough valve covers then one way around the issue at least for this Summer is to run poly locks instead of the stock rocker arm nut and then run a stud girdle which should add enough resistance to not have any other rocker studs pull up on you.

Also if you know someone who can weld you tack weld the stud to the boss with the right welding rod and proceedure.

TRW use to offer a hair oversized replacement stud which would work also if you can find any.
Stud girdle and welding? Seems to be a little overkill as a band-aid for the summer.
