If the bolt is broke off inside the hole, I say air grinder with a die grinder bit. Use the end of the die grinder bit. For example: 1/4" Air Die Grinder Kit Just try to watch the sides to keep from making a pain to tap, but at least it shouldn't walk and then try drilling it when you get it flat. Done it a couple times, steady hands needed.

Well, depending on how soft that bolt is you can use a really fine pointed center punch and smack it a few times to give yourself a divot in the center of the bolt. Then just stick the small drill bit in there as a guide and go to town. Just try and get the punch mark as close to center as possible or you may be retapping that hole for a larger bolt in the end.
I have actually used a Dremel tool with a grinder bit in it to smooth off recessed broken bolts as you have here, then used the center punch to give me a divot and out it came. Worked on a 93 Villager rear exhaust manifold bolt. Even did it in the van.
