REF crankshaft position sensor bolt broken

My crank pulley is off right now for replacement so I decided to take off the crankshaft sensor and clean it up while I was there. Then, being a total idiot, I mistook the torque spec in the FSM as ft-lb instead of in-lb and broke one of the bolts off trying to tighten it... perfectly flush with the oil pan. Is an easy-out going to be my best bet for removing this? It's all I can think of but I'm kind of afraid of damaging the oil pan.

I also broke the mounting hole that the bolt goes through on the sensor. That seems like it could maybe be glued back together but I'll probably just pick up another sensor from the junkyard.
