Broken valve cover bolt

ok, so basically I broke a valve cover bolt on my 94 legacy ss and I was wondering what the best way to extract it would be. from what i can tell it comes to a point right in the center, and I've tried to center punch it with a modified punch so I could try and use a micro grabit bit with a modified right angle drill chuck. and its not working very well.
Any and all advice welcome
Thanks

Oh man:( you've got a chore ahead of you then:/ other than trying to punch and drill it I don't have good advice.

The valve cover bolts screw into the rocker assembly. You can pull the valve cover and the 8 rocker assembly bolts to pull the rocker assembly out of the car and either work on getting the bolt out or replace the section with another one from a used rocker assembly. The rocker assembly mounts where the valve cover bolts screw in are the same between non-turbo & turbo engines.
Here's a pictures of the rocker assembly:
