Depending on the size of the bolt and what you have for an electric drill, you MAY have some luck with a LEFT HAND drill bit. They cut when turning counter-clockwise, and will often spin a broken bolt right out of a hole. If you decide to try an easy-out tool, you're going to need a hole anyway.

If you have to drill that bolt, I'd suggest drilling a piece of 1/2 or thicker plate stock with the size hole you need, then clamping it over the bolt if possible. If you have this pre-drilled hole lined up square over the bolt, it'll act as somewhat of a guide and keep you more nearly centered on the bolt itself.

Take your time......
