Need HELP! broken bolts into o2 housing!

so i was originally going to post needing help with my slow crank problem. but i realized it under warranty so why do it myself? and when i went to take my downpipe off to put the stock cat in the 2 bolts from the o2 housing to the downpipe (the sprung ones) both snapped off. i got most of the bolt out but close to the end of the threads it snapped off. new ones cost me $41 for 2 of each (spring and bolt) and now i need input on how to get the broken chunks out. EZout seems like the first option but what would you guys use? including penetrating oils and tools and what not. i was thinking of pulling the o2 housing to get better angles at them but then im worried if thos bolts snap off aswell lol. i honestly dont remember the 2 that broke being this hard to get off when i put the downpipe in to start with... maybe just the heat got to them. not sure anyone have input?

thanks in advance, Daniel

Drill them out and try an easy out, of course run a tap back through the threads after they come out, and use anti sieze on the bolts upon reassembly.
