broken valve cover bolt

hi guys. i was doing a valve cover job on my n54 and noticed that one of the bolts in the upper left corner had been snapped. I tried to get it out with an easy out, left drill bit but no luck. just scratching the head from slipping off the uneven surface of the broken bolt in a tight spot.

anyone know of any machine shops or mechanics that could help me extract this bolt? i'm in the bedford, MA area. Thanks!

Any shop should be able to do this for you once bring it to them. Just tell them you need a bolt extracted.

I would use a punch to make dimple for a place for the bit so it does not wander.
