try welding a nut and washer to the broken bolt if you have enough material to work with.

heat is your friend


Now, many guys heat with a propane torch, and - fine, whatever - but truthfully it doesn't get it hot enough to make enough expansion

Oxy-accetelyene is really the best, get the outer portion cherry red and then try your extraction methods.
