vice grips if there's anything left of the shank, or drill it & easy out it. ensure you center punch the bolt before you drill cause if you're crooked, heli-coils are damn expensive!

good luck

They make a socket that has a left hand thread on the inside for grabbing the shaft of the bolt to unthread it. Much easier then a left hand drill bit.
