hey dude...not much if you do it right....drill the remaining part of the bolt out if you can with a nice bit...dont give up...treat this like any broken bolt..take your time and get it out slowly...
keep us posted

thanks, i'll do a search....no chance on drilling out w/out removing the head b/c of lack of space...unless i get school in my search.

did you break the head off, with the header still on. If so you might be able to drop the header and part of the threads may be sticking past the head, you can than heat up the bolt with a torch and take it out with vice grips
