There's no such thing as an EASY-out.
Odds are if it's stuck bad enough to cause the bolt to break in the first
place, that fiendish little hemerhoid remover will not help.
If they appear to work, it's probably due to the hammering done to drive it
in that has loosened the bolt.

Weld the nut on (cover the block to avoid flash on the smooth surface) and
get on with it.

One good belt with a 20 lb hammer should free it up.
