Back off the other 5 pressure plate bolts, stick a pry-bar between the PP and flywheel near the broken area and maybe the headless, threaded, shank will be protruding enough to wind it out with needle nosed pliers. It is probably not very tight but spray it with wd-40 or PB Blaster. If the shank is not showing maybe you can wind it out with a sharp ice-pic point through the PP bolt hole . It would cause no harm to just leave it alone with 5 bolts and wait 'til way later to extract it the next time you have to get in there. I vote for that!!!!!
