sorry to hear that. 20/20 hindsight... if you get to do one of these again.... FIRST put a punch on the broken stud and smack it several times with a hammer or small sledge. then do the drill and try to get as large as you can for the that stud.
The best, not easiest, way at this time is to do a head gasket and have a machine shop get the stud out, most likely will have a helicoil (insert) installed there.
OR, if that is the only one, and it's not leaking too badly.... just let it go until you need to do a head gasket.
