Nope. Not that I’ve ever seen.

The only pin with a stud on it is the 1/2 pin, though the TECHNIC pin tip is only slightly wider than a stud, and can usually be used like one. In fact, many of the basic bricks are being produced with ridges near the top of the inner wall surfaces that the pin flanges can lock into (the easiest way to see these is to check out clear 1x3+ bricks, like the 1x6’s used in the mini Knight Bus). The only parts I know of that have studs facing 180 degrees opposite are plates (two variants of the 1x1 plate w/ headlight) or bricks (5-stud and 3-stud 1x1 brick, and the 24-stud 2x4x2 brick).
