One of the last ways that a busted bolt can be removed is by an EDM machine at a machine shop. Sometime it is advisable to have a shop remove the bolt or stud of the part that you're dealing with provided it can be easily moved. EDM (Electro Discharge Machine) bolt removal will not effect the threads provided the machininst doing the job knows what he/she is doing. The process can be done in aluminum, steel, cast iron, etc.
