So now I have an even
worse problem.

Run incrementally larger drill bits into there, until one of them reaches the very edge of the broken bolt. This will cause the broke stub to collapse and allow you to remove the remains. If you are VERY careful with this process you will not even need to retap anything.

Make sure to really clean out the whole your stub comes out of! Running a proper sized tap into is the best way.

I can't believe you actually tried to drive the car with this bolt missing? CRAZY!
