They are splined and have a "hat" that should keep them from turning. It may be just the nut, but putting some load against them may be enough to break them loose.

The idea is to put enough load on the studs that the hat on the back of the stud will bind against the axle flange "freezing" the stud and then the impact wrench will loosen the nut. This might take a bit of force and finesse, and several sets of hands.

It may be just the nut, but putting some load against them may be
enough to break them loose.

It's been some time since I've had mine apart, but if you can get the
wheel off, you might be able to get a wire-feed or stick welder in
there far enough to spot weld the stud and hold it in place until you
want to change the studs.
Good luck and don't swear too much!!
