If you have access to a TIG welder, I would weld on to the flush bolt. This will get you something to grab on to. Again, heat will be your best friend. Ox/ac will be best, but I have been able to use propane, as long as it has a big tip. MAP is hotter than propane. Once the bolt starts to move, go back and forth, and penetrating oil till it will come out. I had a Wizard 18 cid hurricane block that had 17 broken bolts or studs in it. Many of them flush or below the surface. I was able to get them all out this way.
