Besides all that, it's pretty straight forward. Remove Engine Cover > Remove Intake Manifold > Extract/Replace Screw > Replace Manifold and Engine Cover.

Fritzer if you look it up on YouTube, you will find some great videos that show how to extract broken bolts with various methods. Drilling it out is very easy, and you can easily make a guide for the drill bit so that you don't damage the threads .
If you're not up to the challenge then take it to the shop, but I feel like this would be a waste of money. He should not be charging you more than $50 to take that out.
