Another update
Paul: As it turned (pun intended) out, .090 is exactly what he machined them out to, which he confirmed he had found out was the limit for those drums (but he wrote them up for a potential safety cert if I need it down the road)
Four drums turned, eight shoes plus parking brake relined, master cylinder refurbished, many $$$ later, but, he did not get the cones off the studs tow switch them over. He turned the RH-thread drum that I wanted the studs out of. While I was there, he took another shot at pressing out a stud from the cracked LH drum, and the drum just cracked some more. He says, why not just get six RH lugnuts and stick the whole megillah on the LH side, since who's going to know.
We'll see. At least I have the cracked drum to play around with, but what are the odds I'd crack the good RH drum, too. Thanks for the tips, guys.
Plan B is to try to find a whole other LH drum ass'y.
