I've managed to drill out 2 of the wheel nuts but inevitably the studs are now damaged. Was wondering if anyone can tell me how to replace them. Does the whole disc assembly need to be removed? Thanks

You can replace studs without removing hub.
You can knock through the damaged stud, there should be enough clearance to remove and manipulate clear.
Carefully slide the new stud through the splined hole, carefully engage the splines and confirm engagement.
Grease the splines to reduce interference force.
You can use the thread to pull the stud through the splined hole. Best to make sleeve to go over the stud, You can get away with a socket.
Use a steel washer between nut and sleeve apply some grease to reduce friction.
Make sure you pull the stud completely through the splines until the shoulder of the stud butts and contacts the inside face of the hub face.
Good luck
