    drill into it and hammer a torx bit into the drilling, that should enable you to turn and undo the bolt thread.
    you just have to make your own mind up on what size torx and drill to use. this is how i remove snapped bolts ;)

    a driver, preferably one you can fit a ratchet onto, halfords sell them and cost about 4 quid each for a socket version. from memory, a 5mm drilling will take a T30 torx.
