broken header bolt

welp, seems I found the cause of my exhaust leak. While removing the drivers side header I was dismayed to find that the rear most bolt head had been broken off, dunno how. There's about an inch of bolt left sticking out so I figure vise grips. Any other suggestions? I PB'ed the hell out of it before I left so maybe that will help.

if you can get a good grip with vise grips, do that. other wise drop the header, dont remove it all the way, just drop it a few inches. get a stud puller and back it out.
