how do i remove broken glowplug?

our mazda B2500 diesel non turbo pickup has been very reliable but recently it has been difficult to start from cold but once started it would start ok all day but it missed to start at all a few days ago it was just puffing out white smoke.. I checked power to glow plugs and that was good there was 12 volts supply and power remained for a few seconds after the glow light went out .. so I was able to remove 2 glow plugs ok but the third broke off only just above the head surface so I need to know the best way of removal of broken glow plug the head is alloy also what sockets do I need as the head bolts are not hexagonal but have rounded corners all around I believe the head bolts will have to be renewed
 
If there is any of the glow plug still sticking out they make special sockets that will grip broken bolts as the socket is turned in a counter-clockwise rotation to remove broken bolts or those that have rounded off nuts or heads.
