you could try and easy out. then just get a new bolt to replace it with that way you don't get any metle shavings in you oil pan.

Try a left hand drill bit, it may spin it out. The good thing isif the head is gone it should thread out very easy.

wow, it must have been way too tight... it should only be 15Nm which is not very tight at all.
I know - doesn't help you now, but for future reference - they shouldn't be tight at all.

Use an EZOut. My advice is to use one that you think might be too small. Otherwise the drill bit that you have to use gets too big and you end up drilling out the bolt so that the sidewalls are too thin. (I've done that before and what was a relatively easy problem to solve became a much more difficult one).

Another word of caution, you definitely do notwant to break the EZOut off in the drill out bolt.

and don't forget you will have the oil to deal with once you get the bolt out [8D]
