boy o boy are you scre---. Well maybe not ....yet . Some time you can gain a little room for drilling by removing the inner fender liner . You got to center punch the broken bolt/easy out dead center then try drilling with a cobalt or diamond hardened left hand twist(reverse) drill bit about 1/2 the dia of the bolt. If your lucky the bolt will spin out from the friction of the drilling. If not move up in size in drill bits till just a shell is left of the bolt.... all during the drilling use plenty of JB bolt blaster or similar .Try the easy out again using moderate pressure.
