Wheel Stuck On Car. Stud spinning

Can't remove the tire and hub by removing the axle nut. There's the caliper, rotor, e brake cable, and 4 bolts in the back that hold the hub in place.

If drilling failed. I figured I could split the brake caliper since I have the base (floating) piston design. So I think I could get the brake caliper to clear. The four bolts that hold the hub seem easily accessible as well. I didn't consider the parking brake cable tho.. it sounds like drilling is the most popular opinion so far

Update: I was able to drill out the stud and get the wheel off the car. I used the ARP extended studs, which made drilling a lot harder than usual. I needed carbide tipped bits, cobalt was not working.
