sounds gross! sounds like you need to get a centerpunch, drillbit, and an ease-out and see if you can get it out. i'm not sure what exactly that bolt goes into, if it's the valley cover, you can take it off, then use the ease-out. good luck!
an ease-out is kind of a reverse threaded drillbit/tap looking thing. you drill a hole in the bolt thats broken off, then hammer the ease out into it (lightly) enough to get a bite, then turn it to the left and it pulls the bolt out. i broke a valvecover bolt off in my head on monday and used an ease-out, worked great!
