I don't believe there is any prescriptive guideline.
For highly-loaded sluds, it likely needs to be calculated, which is why the Codes require a stamp for anything outside simple prescriptive "designs"
The design for how it is loaded is just like any other beam/ col. Relatively easy to calc the properties and design for the 5 psf load
However you CAN take, and justify, a relatively prescriptive approach. Look at your size/ gage of stud. measure the extent of the hole from "butchering. If the hole is no larger than the typical size of the hole in a punched stud, use the load table for punched. If the application works for the punched stud (very likely), it'll work fairly conservatively for your stud.
