Did the upper or lower bolt snap? If the lower is still stuck in there and you have not damaged the shock fork you can just pound out the section of bolt with a long punch and BFH. If you do need a new fork the junkyard would be the best place.

Its kind of a ghetto fix but if absolutely necessary you can drill that bolt out and then put another longer bolt through that hole with a nut and washer.
