I've broken the hardened extractors out with spring loaded center punches, they are pretty fragile especially the cheaper models. Once you get it out drill a hole completely through it and get it as close as possible to the center. I have drilled the bolt out to tap drill size and run a tap into the hole to make threads again. If necessary you can drill and install a helicoil. Make sure you use never seez on the new bolts whatever you do.
