The head must come off evenly. You can't just lift one end and then try and lift the other end without the head binding on the studs. I suggest that you try to wedge the head up off the engine block using wooden wedges at four corners until you can get your hands under the head and lift evenly to raise it past the studs. I am sure others wil chime in but this might get you started.
