Default Just a Little Screwed (Bolt Broke in Block)

I was putting my valve cover on and guess what! a broke the freakin last bolt and half of it is stuck in the block. I feel like such an idiot!!!!!!

How can I get it out?

Can It be driven like this with the rest bolted down?

why did you try and attach your valve cover to your block?

shouldn't it go on the head?
