Is the problem just that the bolt head is snapped off? If that's the case, I'd try and remove the other bolt, and see if there is enough room to slide the starter away from the bellhousing, and then take it down. That should expose the shaft of the bolt so that you can get vice grips or a pipe wrench around it. I may not be totally understanding the problem though.
