He's said that because of the position of the bolt under the car and after several attempts, he is unable to drill a hole in the snapped bolt.

Should you still prefer to remove the original I'd suggest these if there is still enough stud accessible.

If it starts to move, keep it well oiled and do it back up each time it gives a little more movement. It won't be a quick job though.
