Practically no. By the time the studs are worn out, tires are too worn for you to install new studs and even if you could, the cost of replacing them would be more than the tires are worth.

Are studded tires safer than snow tires?

Studded tires will benefit you greatly on ice and sometimes in very hard-packed snow. Loose and/or deep snow, wet or dry pavement however studs will actually give you Less traction than snow tires. Interpret this answer as you see fit, but given that you rarely have pure ice on the roads for any length of time, I see studs as dangerous, expensive, and unnecessary. Also, check your local laws, in most parts of the country they are illegal to use because they tear up the roads faster.
