Moving 2" washer vent this

My 2" ABS washer vent pipe is right in the way of a new door I am installing up stairs above the washer/dryer space.

I would like to move the vent on the other side of the 2x4 stud and then come back into the original space so I don't need to change the roof exist.

My concern is drilling thru the studs for the vent pipe. If I use 45 degree fittings, the hole thru the stud would seem too large.

What is the correct way to do this?

TIA

Correction:

The vent pipe is 1 1/2" not 2".

If you are at least 42in. above the top of the washer you can use anything you want to offset the vent; always use the least angle that will work.
