yep, tried that too. Vice-grips on the stub didn't get enough torque to break free. Easy out did'nt work, had to drill it out, then couldn't get the rest of the bolt out. In my case, I ended up drilling it oversize, and using a nut below to keep it shut { mine was the outer one, which would accept a nut below)
USE NEVER-SEEZ ON THE NEW BOLTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This job is one you don't want to do twice
