Default Broken Valve cover bolt

I was putting my valve cover back on and I broke a bolt The place where the bolts go into the head have like "sleeves" where it guides the bolt in striaght, and it broke about 1/4 into the threading from the top. Is there anyway to get that outta there or am i screwed...no pun intended

if you can`t take it out, just plug the hole on the valve cover with a nut/bolt and put whole bunch of sealent on the gasket.
