thermostat housing problem

This recently happened to me. These broken bolt removers worked:

Easy to use, just drill out the center of the bolt, then use the extractor end to extract it.

Honestly, it is likely far easier and cheaper to just replace the water pump housing. They're a dime a dozen used, and you'll spend way more to have a machine shop repair the hole.
