Don't ya' just love the reaction between aluminum and steel or stainless steel? :silly: Had the same type of thing happen to me Sunday except it was a stainless bolt fused into the aluminum FRAME of my Montesa :eek: . I cut a slot in the head and tried a giant screwdriver, nope. Drilled it out for an EasyOut, nope it broke off in the hole! :scream: . EasyOuts don't exactly lend themselves to drilling so I made a 40 mile round trip to the nearest store for some tungston bits for my Dremmel to grind it out. Assuming it would booger up the threads I didn't buy a tap because I didn't know how bad the hold would get messed up. Well after about 3 minutes with the Dremmel the piece was but splinters on the ground and the threads were fine! Woo Hoo! So I just had to make the round trip again for a could of bolts that were reinstalled with Antisieze compound to assure this is not a problem in the future. So if your feeling lucky and have not had too much coffee this might be an option, otherwise take it and have it ultrasonically broken out if there is a place nearby that does it.
