If they are not super tight, Usually they are not unless crossed or really rusted) find a pencil that has an eraser on it and see if it will grab it and remove. Or you can use a small sharp chisel to score a line across it and use a screwdriver to remove. If not, they make left handed drill bits. Get the proper size and use a drill in reverse and it should grab the broken bolt and remove it. If those do not work, it is a drill out and use a E_Z out tool.
Being way2old is why I need help from younger minds
