Has it snapped flush or proud of the disc?
Can you get at the remains to either, in varying order of severity
A, get hold of it with mole grips
B, hacksaw a slot to create a screw head?
C, lets not go there yet

Get a left hand drill bit it will probably spin it right out. Just make sure you are right on centre with it.

How much torque did you put on it

These things are sent to deliberately test us . Did some brake work on my wife's Mini a couple of weeks back, used the locking wheel nut key as usual but forget to take it off and lost it on the short test drive after. To make matters worse she then got a puncture (the next day!) first one for years. It took a week for BMW/Mini to get a replacement

That’s the thing had it set at 120 but this bolt kept turning so I put jack down moved car forward the tried to release it and snap !?
