That will allow the removal without snapping a stud off which is a royal PITA and time consuming to extract. Most times they break off flush and have to be drilled out with a die reclaim bit... (solid tungsten carbide). Don't think you have one of those. Soaking them with penetrating oil will facilitate removal and save you a bundle in the end.
