This is the most common suggestion. Unfortunately its just not viable at this point. Had a I tried it when the body of the bolt was visible it could have worked. The handle on my MIG is broken and I cant find a replacement so I didnt consider it at the time.

Exactly. I am going to try a punch to fracture the broken remains. If that doesnt work I will try the Dremel tool option.
