you might have to cut them out, or you could try to use a ez-out. if not i'd say your pretty much screwed.

If the head snaps off, the threads are too bound up for an easy out type extractor to work. Just drill and retap. Hald of the threads on my car are 1/4-20 now ;) My front bumper is held on with 4 purple zipties, been that way for years. Just the way it is with those small bolts.
