I had an easy out break while working on a lawnmower with an aluminum block a while back.  It seems the aluminum and the bolt corroded and became one.

I was able to use a Dremel with a small chainsaw sharpening bit and gradually grind the easy out away.  It took a long while - but it did work.  I then carefully ground away at the bolt until it was just a thin shell, and then used a small chisel and ice pick and collapsed the bolt away from the aluminum block.  I then ran a tap in to clean up the threads.

Yep, thats what I was trying to get people to thnk about, I grind a Gouge in a punch, so that if you used it on wood it would cut the side out of a stick, I need to take pics, no way I can describe it right,

FWIW, Norm Keller puts on the best clinic about this particular type of problem that I've ever seen:
