some you have to drill a hole into whats left of the bolt and lightly hammer the extractor into the hole and then turn it so remove the bolt.

if you got a screw extrator I think they look like a mangled star screw driver or something and you just press it against the damaged screw head and turn...

Best of luck! Sorry I can't help more.
