Desperation trick that can work:

Drill a 1/4 or 5/16 hole down the center.

Drive a piece of 1/4" or 5/16" cold rolled shaft into the hole you drilled, leaving 3-4" protruding.

Connect a stick welder ground to the case, the other lead to the cold rolled material.

Toggle the welder on and off. This will the bolt safely, no flames required.

Pull the cold rolled material out with vice-grips (it might even extract the bolt). Then use an easy out.
