Help at the shop! Broke caliper stud

Yo, whats up team....

Just wondering i broke a caliper stud off with a bit of the bolt sticking out on the bottom drivers side caliper.... Wondering how i can get this out, without a 90 degree drill to e-z it out can i take the whole hub off? And drill? Or we are also going to weld another piece onto the nut.... anyone have any experience on this?

If you got a welder, weld it!
The added heat helps to dislodge the stuck fastener.

Thanks ted, i eventually just took the brake line off, and pulled the caliper to the bottom and hit it until the threads came loose in the unthreaded hole... it was white with corrosion.
