I’m starting to get tired of my stair project. And I understand if you’re tired of me. 
I’ve been searching like crazy but can’t find a threaded screw without a tip and without a head. What is such a screw called? I found "gängstång", but all of them are about 1 meter long and I don’t want to have to cut it. I need one that is 5-6 cm, M10. Difficult when I don’t know what such a screw is called. Searched for headless bolt, threaded screw, etc., etc. But I only end up on weird sites with screws with strange dimensions.

The product is also called gängpinne.

What are you going to use the gängpinne for?
I still think you should cut down the protrusion and fix the wall so you get the railing the way you want it.

Yes, I'll just take a hacksaw and cut them off. It takes a maximum of 5 minutes per screw, and you want to do it really slowly and effortlessly. Otherwise, you can probably challenge the strong one in the family to a contest, so you'll only need to saw off a maximum of 4.
Or see it as an opportunity to invest in a Fein. You can also buy some cheaper variant.
Since it's stuck so incredibly badly, I wonder if it's really a screw anchor or if it's possibly threaded rod that someone has chemically anchored to the wall. It does have that suspicious groove at the end, but someone might have thought it should sit better. If the wall is made of lightweight concrete, it's not at all impossible that someone used chemical anchors.

Yes, tommib it is a screw stud. I managed to get one of them when I removed the sleeve with a pipe wrench. I will think about how to proceed. Now that the old handrail is removed, I will spend a few days sanding and painting the stairs first.
This feels like one of those situations where it takes more time to think about the optimal solution than it does to actually do the job. Fresh blade in the hacksaw and a six-pack in the fridge, then it will be done soon.
