You can buy a broken bolt extractor kit. Wich has screw like bits that have revers threads on them.
You drill a hole in middle of stud then screw extractor onto it then just under it and take it out. 

this is your best bet, just google easy outs

If a stud extractor will not get it out then you may need to remove the head to drill it out as you will not have enough room.
