Can you get ahold of it with a pair of vise grips?

Carefully center punch it dead center. Then obtain a set of small reverse twist drill bits. Start with the smallest one and keep drilling straight through until it comes out on the bit or you have removed all of the bolt metal. Whatever you do don't break the bit off in the bolt when drilling. In the future don't put things back so tight.
