Oil Pan Clearance Issue with ARP Main Studs

Well I just broke one of the bolt holes on my stock oil pan because I didn't realize the ARP main studs I used are quite a bit longer than stock. I searched around the site and only found issues with stud girdles which required the main studs and the pan to both be ground down.
Is that how everyone else with longer main studs makes this combo work? Is there another OEM oil pan that people tend to use, either for more clearance or just availability since I need a replacement now?
Thanks
 
If you use my stud kit no grinding is required. Just saying, it's a matter of getting the right parts. In your case most likely you'll have to shorten the front 2.
