busted spark plugs

I have an 88 F-350 w/460 efi two of the four spark plugs on pass side broke off all the way down to the head the remaining six plugs are really rusted and probably will break also. Without taking the heads to a machine shop is there any way to get the remaining plugs out without f**king the heads up. I have the heads off the truck. Thanx in advance for any suggestions.
