Damn. Sorry it broke on you. That sucks!
Drilling out a bolt like that is tricky. It's not as big a deal if it's just a screw or bolt through sheet metal. Then you only have to drill the head off. If you have to drill into something, then it is VERY important that you drill perfectly straight, or you're going to have problems. Taking it somewhere to get it done was probably the best way to go.
