Cut a slot in it with a dremel and use a flat head.

Use an Easy Out. First you drill a hole in the bolt, then insert the Easy Out. It is reverse thread and goes in deeper the harder you turn until the bolt comes out

You may have to use a threader after words to clean up the internal threads. Some Easy Out are part of threading kits.
