Pulled push rod

Hey there, got a question about a rocker arm stud on a 300-6cyl. I replaced the rocker arm thinking it was bad, only to find out my rocker arm stud has pulled out about 3/8 of a inch! What are the chances of the stud pulling completely out? I don't have the resources to pull the head and have it professionally fixed. Is there a way for me to fix it myself? I've worked on autos for years but don't know if I am able to fix this problem. Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks all.

You can get oversize (like .003) press in studs.
Here's an example (although not for your application/Ford) http://www.summitracing.com/parts/slp-mr-1752/overview/
