Broken caliper bolt

Well I was all set to change my brakes today. New pads, rotors, hardware and caliper bolts. It stared off good. Screws in the rotors came right out. Took off the pad sensors easy enough. Pin and clip out. Squeezed on pads and they came right out. Lower caliper bolt broke free no problem. Upper caliper bolt head broke right off.
I was able to get the caliper off of the bolt by tapping on it with a rubber mallet. I've been spraying PB blaster on it for a couple hours. The whole bolt minus the head is still in the hub. So I have about 3 inches to grab onto. So far I have tried vise grips, no luck. Also tried a pipe wrench, no dice. What would be my next move? Give the PB blaster more time? Heat? Help
