spray the broken bolts with wd40 or pb blaster so the threads are penetrated then drill a small hole in it, and then use a screw extractor aka easy out. Don't break either drill bit or screw extractor in the bolts because you will be Sh*t of lucky if you do.

Last buy a tap kit to retap threads so this won't happen again.

I would invest in MAP gas or get it towed to a shop with an OXY/ACET. torch. Heat will aid in the process of removing it.
