Snapped head off LCA bolt

I'm trying to change the springs on my 96 hatch and I snapped the head off one of the rear lower control arm bolts. Any advice on how to get the rest of the bolt out?

Same thing happened to me. Might not have been the most efficient route, but I used an angle grinder to cut through the bolt and bushing, then drilled the remaining piece of bolt out and put a nut on the opposite end. I had replacement lca bolts, new lcas and found nuts at the hardware store beforehand.
