STOP NOW!! While there is still something there for a shop to work with
(hoping that there is still something to work with). At first sign of these
sorts of things, a good shop would weld a new purchase point on to the
offending fastener. It would be allowed until cool to the touch -
guarranteed to come out.

Word to the wise.... worrying at it with a vise grip until there is nothing
left will only increase the cost of removing the fastener.
