Would heating up the stud plate with a heat gun do any good in reinstalling a new stud? Would that weaken the stud plate?

My stud hole appears to be slightly bigger in that the original notches from the factory installed stud are not there inside the hole. So I was thinking maybe heating would expand the metal slightly and pull in the stud?

That I dont know. I would assume heat would weaken the steel. If the hole is bigger than the stud Knurls you should get a bigger stud (the knurls)

Boos, heating the plate you are talking about with a heat gun will do absolutely nothing. IMHO it will not make it anywhere near hot enough.

Why cant you install an OEM like stud?

I can install the OEM stud size, when I line it up it doesn't go straight in so I'll need to pull it in again which is a good thing - meaning the hole in the stud plate isn't too large or anything....

.. it's just that I'm weary of this shit having had it happen on me now, I'd hate to hear a clunk and watch my wheel fly by.

The OEM studs won't press all the way in, they only get about halfway into the stud plate with my cheater bar. I don't want to put anymore into the cheater bar for fear of this hapenning again to be honsest ....

OK. Boss try this.

Use the lug nut youve been using, but turn it around. You want the flat side pressing onto the axle shaft. this will aid in pulling the stud in.

If that doesnt work, use 2 lug nuts but them together and then attempt to draw the stud in.

Take video if you can so i can see what youre doing.
