Icon3 Problem with FPR (Fuel pressure regulator) bolt.

How's it goin guys?

I recently ran into a problem with my FPR, and of which I found another problem.

The head of the bolt to my FPR is broken. Does anyone have any ideas on how to remove a bolt with a broken head? It's sticking up about .25 of an inch, and i've tried cutting a groove into the bolt, but i can't cut enough into the bolt to fit a flat head. And when I was able too, the groove was too weak and did not hold up very well while loosening.

Any suggestions guys?

Well, the bolt isn't sticking out enough for me to grab it with vice grips.

Yeah, it's disconnected. The problem is, with the head of the bolt broken, I am unable to remove it to securely hold the new one to the fuel rail.

The only thing that i can think off is either using easy-out or getting another fuel rail.
