They make bits for extracting broken hardware.

You can try the extractor bit method, a simple reversed threaded drill bit or a helicoil.

if diy method's not working, you could try a machine shop

but if you DIY, and drilling into it, use cutting oil; don't force it, I've had extractor bits break in other projects. Drilling out an extractor bit is a bit**

If the head of the screw is sticking out a bit you can tighten the chuck of a drill on it to remove it.
