At your local hardware store you can buy an extractor set, they work awesome if you do it right. You drill into the center of the bolt/screw/whatever you have, then put the extractor in and reverse it out. You usually need to drill a ways in for this to work, but if you drill it nice and centered in the bolt with a surgeons hand it should work awsome. I have done this 3 times in the past week haha. Hope this helps.
