Default FLCA replacement - I'm stuck

The front bushing in my passenger side front lower control arm is blown badly. I'm going to replace it but the problem is the bolt through that front bushing is going to snap off. I put a ratchet on it and with very little for the head started twisting off.

What do I do when it breaks off since it threads into the subframe? The bushing is so bad it's claiming tires on par with my oil changes so it needs changing. I don't know what to do.

Apply a lot of heat to the bushing area and the subframe area where the bolt goes through. If you do not have access to heat purchase Map gas and a tip.
