Yikes, that is a pickle. So, if you start the car coolant would come out of the hole? Honestly, if it is sealed I would just leave it alone. Or if coolant is going to **** out stop it up with JB weld.

I am sure somebody will come along with a slightly more professional idea though

Yes, there is a tool. Its called an "Easy Out". Its like a srew but with the threads going in reverse. You can pick up a kit at Pepboys, Sears, Lowes, Wal-Mart. Not to hard a job, you'll so fine.
