I cannot see your situation from here but here is a suggestion based on accessibilty, of course. I am assuming it is a threaded seat stud anchor welded in to the floor ....
Pick out a sharp metal drill bit that is a few (6-10)thousands smaller than the broken bolt. Do not run the drill at a high rpm because the bolt is heat treated/hardened and it will just overheat and dull the drill bit. Drill out the offending bolt and then retap the hole. Take a good bolt that matches to your local hardware store to get the right tap for it , and a new bolt if you dont have one already. Use 3 in one oil or some kind of light weight motor oil when drilling and retapping for lubrication . .. jmo good luck
