I need HELP... damn butter screws

so i tried to put my oil pickup line (the one in the oilpan)on a couple days ago and SNAP, i sheared one of the bolts. that ****** came apart like it was butter..

i tried drilling it and using an EZ out but the sheared metal was too soft and it didnt work.

does anyone have ANY ideas? i need to get this ONE little bastard out so i can finally throw my motor in..
FRUSTRATING ****

does anyone have any kind of experience with this kind of thing??

Meh, if the engine is out, I'd just drill and tap. It will probably be easier.. your only real option would be to try to drill the bolt shaft out, using a reverse-bit anyway..
