make a starting point and start drill with a small drill then with a little bigger try not to damage the threads if you damage them use helicoil.
it's all up to you.

If it isn't stuck you can try to make a slot in it to use a flat head screw driver to remove it. Don't jack up the mating surface. Good luck.

Re: cam cap bolt broke help !

you are doing something very wrong! that 10mm bolt should only be torqued to like 8 ft lbs how the hell did you break it! do know they have different torque specs?

Best bet is to use a bolt extractor kit.
