Is this with the engine in the car? If so you are going to have a problem here.

Try a left-handed drill bit, it might grab what's left and spin it out.

ya thats a possibility but drilling through that bolt won't be much fun and there might be thread locker on it.

Make/find a sleeve to keep the bit centered on the bolt.
