You can get an extractor.  You drill a hole into the broken/cut-off fastener, 
screw the extractor (reverse threads) into the hole, and just keep turning.  It 
pulls itself down into the hole (theoretically) and backs the stub out.  I have 
used them with varying degrees of success.  Not expensive.
