Wrap in cloth and grab with pliers

You can also double-nut the stud, if there is enough sticking out.

Thread one nut on, then the other, then tighten them against each other. Put the wrench on the bottom nut and spin the stud out.

You can also use a pair of wire cutters to grab it. It will damage the threads a little, so grab as close to the link as you can.

I use needle nose vise grips all the time. Who cares if you scrape the link the rocks will do it anyway, and the threads still work just fine on mine. They are not a tight tolerance or anthing. you just have to get it just tight enough that is doesn't slip but doesn't crush the threads.
