I stripped two of the studs on the front passenger side. My question is- Do I have to remove the hub to replace the studs, and if so does that also mean I have to replace the bearings

Just remove the caliper and rotor. You can hammar the old studs out. Place the new ones through and pull them in tight by placing a lugnut over the new stud and tightening it. Here is a tip. Place a flat washer between the hub and lug nut to install the new stud. Otherwise, the lug will guld against the hub and not pull the new stud into place.

NOTE: Remove the washer before replacing the rotor. Its only purpose is to help get the stud to pull into place.

Let me know if you have questions.
