This approach may be worth the hassle if it saves you from having to drop
the subframe.

But it CAN be done, BTDT on my dear departed 82 coupe.

Chisel a hole in the frame rail, drill out snapped off subframe
bolt/easy-out, insert new bolt into hole, drop washer onto bolt, carefully
thread nut onto bolt.

Tighten.

Beat the alternative (at the time) by a country mile.
