The first time I do a thermostat replacement, I replace the bolts with stainless.
I think an eay-out is going to be your only option, but the question is whether you'll have to pull the cylinder head to get at it. As already mentioned, a right angle drill is a possibility, but it's still hard to drill it perfectly in the middle of the broken off bolt. Lots of PB Blaster needed for several days before attempting that. Sorry for your plight.
