go to sears or harbor freight
get a screw extractor kit-
and a center punch to mark the bolt center so drill dosnt wander

Kit contains a left handed drill bit that you drill into the broken part
then thread in another reverse thread screw into the broken part-
As you turn left- it tightens itself into the broken bit and removes the entire thing

Cut a slot in it with a dremel and use a regular screwdriver to remove.
Also Sears sells stripped screw removal tools.
