Enough sticking out to get a set of molegrips on it?
Use penetrating fluid or a blowtorch to make it come out easier.

Had my mates do this years ago! We drilled it out totally, then used a high tenstile nut and bolt as you can get to the inside. never missed a beat.

Me and my mate have both done this on our clios.

Moles grips, hammer and a thick chisel to turn it, drill it out, reverse thread bits.

Loads of options, is a b**ch though!

can you not use a hack saw to cut a slot into it so its like a screw, and use a big screwy to screw it back out , give it a good soak first, wd40 for 30 mins. theres plenty of ways pal,

good luck anyway .
