One time I broke off the head of a bolt it was a valve cover bolt that had been soaking in leaking oil, and the top end was sufficiently rough enough for me to just stick a flat head screwdriver in it and turn it to get the bolt out. The last time I broke one, it was on a lower radiator support and it was completely rusted out. I had to drill and tap it. That took a very long time.

reverse direction drill bits that are designed for just this very thing. I was lucky...and it was pretty easy too. just tap in the bit with a couple taps of the hammer and use a wrench to twist it out. hardly any elbow grease to it...more like knuckle grease lol.
