Default engine bolt problem

In my 96 civic hatch, one of the place to help support the engine mount bracket broke off (inside the chassis).
Here's a picture of the mounting place I'm talking about. The thing inside the beam broke off. Any suggestion?

take a torch and cut the head off, then cut the frame rail open, weld a new nut the same size as the bolt in the hole, weld your frame rail back up and reinstall.

go to advanced,napa, auto zone, pep boys and ask them for easy out drill bits...what you do is just drill with the bit you buy according to the size of the bolt then use the bit that looks like it grips..and u could use the bit to turn the bolt or use a ratchet
