If the head is broken off, chances are there is very little tension on the threads of what's left in there. What I would try it taking a long slender screwdriver that will fit up in there and try to screw the broken piece out. You'd be surprised how easily it may come right out.

I had broke off an oil pan bolt, but not the small ones in the back, anyway, I drilled it out a bit and tapped a slotted screwdrive in there and backed it out. It came out easy.
