Default Broke bolt/stud holding on EGR valve need help

Today I was attempting to remove my throttle body and managed to snap the forward bolt holding EGR valve to the manifold. It is snapped flush with the valve. At this point I don't even want to bother drilling it out because it took a lot of force to snap it. I want to remove the EGR valve so I can bring it to a machine shop but how do I remove the valve if the stud is broken off in there. Is there any other way?

I had the same issue, I even broke a bolt extractor in there on top of that. I took it off and the local machine shop wouldn't do work on it for some bs reason. I bored it out myself and put an appropriate bolt in place. It fits slightly wonky but it works fine. I don't know if this helped but I feel your pain haha

Remove the whole tube connected to the manifold. If you manage to remove it. You will just need a vise grip to remove the broken bolt.
