+1 for taking it to a machine shop. I know you broke some extractors on it, they may not have been the best quality... A machine shop deals with this kind of thing ALL the time, has good tools, and can probably fix it terribly fast.

My oil drain bolt froze in the pan. As a result the allen head got stripped. I took off the bottom of the pan and even with it out of the car, holes drilled, extractors, hammers, etc. I still could not get the frozen drain bolt free from the oil pan! I took it to a machine shop and honestly they took the pan into their shop and came back with it in 30 seconds and the bolt out. Cost - nothing. I just wished I had gone to them much earlier as I wasted 2 hours on trying to extract the bolt.
