a good way to remove a metal bolt is to get a screw extractor. You drill a small pilot hole down the middle of the bolt, and lightly tap the extractor into the hole. The bolt will then twist out. You may need to add lube to the bolt if its rusted (WD-40 etc.)

How do you drill out a broken bolt?
There are several options. -Bolt extraction kits, you can probably get one at your local autoparts store. Drill a hole in the bold and insert the extractor, turning counter-clockwise. You may need to tap it in with a hammer first. It's best to use a reverse-thread drill bit to drill the hole. They should be in the same section as the extraction kits. The advantage of the reverse-thread drill bit is that it turns counter-clockwise, the same direction you need to turn the bolt to get it out, thus the drill alone may pull the bolt out if the drill bit catches and the bolt is loose. Use caution when using the extraction kits though. They are brittle and if you overtorque it you can end up breaking the bit in the hole. Then you have a much bigger problem. -If enough of the bolt is above the surface, you can use a dremmel to cut a notch, then use a flat-head screw driver to turn the bolt out. -For really stubborn bolts, you can drill the bolt out completely and re-thread the hole. This should only be attempted if you have a drill press. If you are using a hand drill and eyeballing it you will probably end up messing up the hole and the threads. -Depending on the age and condition of the metal that the hole is in and if lock-tight has been applied to the bolt, heat may be used to loosen the bolt. Heat the area around the hole with a propane torch. -If all else fails, take it to your local machine shop and have them drill it out for you.

Could the reversable drill bit extract a broken bolt?
Not unless it was reasonably loose. Usually when faced with this, I drill into the bolt with a very hard drill bit a tiny bit thinner than the bolt - ie if it's a 3/8 bolt, I drill in first with a 1/8 drill to create a guide hole, then after with a 5/16 drill to cut right through, yet not harm the threads. You have to be very careful to stick to an exactly straight course. After the hole is cleared, I pull the threads left from the bolt out as far as I can, then use a 'clearance' tap of bolt size to re-tap the hole.

If the bolt is inside the wood, why need to worry, hammer it to go inside. put wood putty to cover it. If the bolt is sheared inside a metal part, Drill the bolt's center with smaller bit, and put tap of same size of the bolt.(It works for rusted and corroded bolts got sheared inside the metal part).

Remove the broken bolt and replace it with a new one. There are several ways to remove that broken bolt. You can remove the valve cover and weld a nut to what is left of the bolt, wait for it to cool off then unthread the broken bolt.
