Get a carbide cutter for a dremel, and take it slowly. I had a cheap extractor break off in a bolt like yours one time. I used a carbide bit with a ball tip like this one to bore a hole through the extractor and bolt. Once I did that I slowly took the bolt apart by making the hole in the center larger. When I got close to the threads I was able to use a larger extractor and it slid right out.

Note: Keep a magnet handy if you're going to do this with the head on the vehicle to try and corral all the shavings you can. I'd probably suggest pulling the head if that isn't a blind hole so you don't introduce fine metal to your engine/cooling system.
