If the bolt is siezed in the hole I'd say drilling and easy out won't work very good. If you can get a little heat on the outside of the bolt without cooking anything it'll likely come out.
Yea, I can fix that.....

Cut the head off , leave the bolt sticking up , weld a large nut to the bolt shank then wrench it out

I did a 'modified' version of Coke's method.
I put a washer on first THEN weld a nut onto the busted bolt shaft.
Let it totally cool BEFORE you try to undo !!!
 
The washer gave me some wiggle room with the AC stick welder and my 'nervous' handiwork !!

After welding, wait till things aren't cherry red and start wrenching.  I never wait till it cools all the way down. Heat is one of your friendly tools in a situation like stuck bolts.

If the bolt is big enough, I drill the center of the bolt with a 1/3 size drill bit, then reweld the drill hole with qw wire welder, then weld a washer on. As it is cooling down, apply a candle to the threads. Then you can take out with a pair of pliers.

If that fails, drill and tap new treads.

that wax method works well , a candle or even a old color crayon applied along side the hot bolt, allows the wax to seep down into spaces and lube the rusty threads.
