Default BOLT SNAPPED WHILE REMOVING LCA! NEED HELP!

Hey what's up ht, so I had a question.
So I was going to change the lower control arms buut I ran into some trouble.
I got the first 2 bolts loosened and then when I got to the bolt right under behind the hub, it snapped in half. So now I can't change the control arm.
I tried grabbing the end of the bolt where its poking out a little bit with some visegrips and twisting it so maybe it would just twist right out. But no.
So now I am stuck,
Has anyone ever ran into this problem before or maybe could tell me some advise to maybe get it out.
I'd really appreciate it! So LMK! THANK YU

If that doesn't work you're gonna have to drill out the bolt and replace it.
