Snapped Header Bolt

I snapped one of the header bolts last night when I was installing my LTs. Anyone know of a shop in SoCal (preferably north county San Diego) that can extract the remainder of the bolt? Also can I drive the car with the bolt snapped. I know I'll probably have an exhaust leak but I just need to get it to a shop. It was one of the center bolts. Appreciate the help.

is it just the head snapped off with a threaded portion still sticking out or did it break flush with the head?

I'll have to check later. I got so passed that I stopped doing everything last night. Hopefully there's enough threaded portion that I can get some pliers on it. I'll have to loosen the headers to check

if there is enough, a good pair of needle nose visegrips will do the trick.

There's not enough to use the vice grips. I found a shop that's gonna do it. Taking the car in next week. Thanks for the tip though.
