Try and remove them with the impac driver and

if they break off drill them out as accurately as you can. If your hole is too large or, for any reason, you don't want to go up a bolt size you can install a Helicoil. They are easy to install and work as advertised. I've put in a bunch of them over the years and have always been satisfied with the results. If you decide to use an impac driver invest in a good one. They aren't that expensive and work much better then the cheep ones. It's a good tool to have around so you might as well have a good one.
