Easy outs are everything but what their name implies. By the time you have the bolt smooth enough to center your drill on it and actually get a hole drilled, you have thoroughly gotten passed the really PO'd point. If you can remove the manifold, get a nut and place it up against the head and weld the nut to the bolt. The arc should not stick to the head, but to the bolt only. Now turn out the broken bolt and put everything back on.
