Most shops will not stud a used tire for that reason exactly......You can
get the studs in but they won't stay for long.

If you intend to put studs in used tires be prepared to pick each
and every stud hole clean. Little stones, sand, glass chips etc will
not allow the studs to be installed properly. This can be quite time
consuming, more so if you intend to run all 4. Not cleaning out the
holes will result in problems ranging from studs falling out to
punctures. I'll never do it again unless I get mint tires for free.
