Broken door bolts.

I was trying to remove the doors on my '68' F100, and accidentally broke off one bolt on each door. Has this ever happened to any of you?
If it did, what did you do? Any tips would be appreciated.

I had one bolt brake on my 72. It was the lower hinge on passenger side and it was the third bolt that is inside the door jamb. I ended up having to drill it out close to the threads and eventually getting it to come out. Started with small drill bit and worked my way up. I could access both sides of because my fender was off.
