Just get some of these. Start right in the center of the bolt. No need to even center punch. These bits are so cool I can start a hole in a round piece of steel without a punch with a handheld drill with no trouble at all. So no worries it will not walk out on you. Then follow up with appropriate twist high speed steel bit or if you want one of those spade looking bits.

I was able to get that broken bolt thread out with an "easy-out" set I finally found in my garage (that I haven't used in years). The broken bolt thread wasn't that corroded, it came out easily.
