Stud extractor sockets mate you knock them on the stud and they have a left hand thread so all you do is stick a ratchet on the ed and wind it out

I ended up snapping the ball end of an allen key off in an XE head bolt. Chiselled the head till I removed the bastard and it was an unrecognisable mess then got an 18mm blacksmiths (reduced shank) drill and removed the head of the bolt. I was lucky, it ended up that i could remove the stud that was left turning it with a magnet.

Get a pic up if you can

drill it out, use some thick grease around the head to help contain the swarf.
