Default oil feed bolt broken off in engine....suggestions

while installing my oil feed line today i managed to break off the bolt that screws into the oil pressure sensor hole on the back of the block. Would it be impossible to get out with the engine still in the car? If not, how would I go about getting it out? This is so shitty...i was so close to being boosted. Thanks for the help

the bolt is hollow, correct?

if so just goto a hardware store an get an appropriate sized "broken bolt extractor".

thread it in and keep turning. the teeth are in the reverse direction so this pulls out the broken piece.
