he said he cant get vice grips on it!!! do the dremel way like soul tkr said or grind it flat on 2 sides and grab it with some pliers. if you cant grab it... gonna have to drop the engine or jack it up till you can... loosen those crossmember bolts but dont take them out just so you can jack it up high enough.

I'm guessing an angle drill with an Easy-out is out of the question? That's what I had to use when a rocker arm bolt snapped off in the head on me(and let me tell you that was a scary experience).
