Someone mentioned getting one of the tub 'o' bolts kits and using them.
I feel your pain

I had a bolt snap off in cam cover (the rad mounting bolt) then my stud extractor snap in the bolt I WISH I just drilled the thing out in the first place. If the screw extractor snaps, you just enter a whole other world of pain. My advice would be to try and persevere with the drill. As for bolts check out http://www.chewys-stuff.co.uk/ he'll do ya a complete set of ss bolts with allen heads (and invest in a tub of coppaslip) I have a set on my bike. Pukka.

Good luck!
