Default broken bolt

well, i swapped my old worn leather seats from my liberty heritage over to some gt-b seats today (the kind wit the electronic seatrails), and came across a miniscule yet extremely frustrating issue - also a mild safety concern as the passenger side seat is flapping all over the joint.

essentially, the bolt that was in place on the passenger side seat, securing it to the floor, was dodgey. whilst i applied torque in order to remove it, it gave way, and snapped the head of the bolt off - rendering it impossible to dethread.

i've already tried a variety of penetrating oils and worked at it with a hammer and chisel in order to try get it to give a bit, but have since failed miserably. i'm thinking about welding a nut to it and removing it that way - but if you guys have had this issue before, and have a solution that involves far less effort and time, let me know. don't think easyout or similair method will slip this free unfortunately.

cheers.
