Seized camshaft question

I have a 96 2.3l SOHC that has a seized camshaft due to oil starvation. Don't ask... Lol (I'm sure a quick search of Reddit will reveal the entire story)

Is it possible after I pull the head out to somehow get the camshaft and bearings out while salvaging the head to just replace the shaft and bearings or should I just buy a new head.

The rest of the engine is not seized and seems to be okay. 🤞
