I don't know how you managed to break two wheel studs in one shot. I've taken rims on and off cars hundreds of times and never broken a wheel stud.
For your jacking question: Get a low profile floor jack and then, if you need, use a hockey puck in the middle of the jack pad to push up on jacking point. It sounds like you're new to this so remember, always chock a wheel that will be staying on the ground.
