You can buy a tool for that mate. It has a coarse reverse thread, you drill a pilot first and then screw it in. As the thread is reverse eventually it will start to unscrew the broken star drive head. HTH

What rushy was describing is a stud extractor and it is how you are going to get the remaining bolt out.
Drill a hole in the remaining bit of bolt thread and insert the stud extractor. They have a left hand thread so as you unscrew it, it forces its way into the bolt and hopefully should remove it! A good soaking with WD40 helps too.
Otherwise drill the bolt out, re-tap it then fit a new bolt

If you got a dremel drill or maybe a hacksaw, cut a grrove in the top and remove with a large flat head screwdriver called Rodger

So simple, but thats a great idea!!

Done that a few times but if it's tight you can snap the head off (if it has not already snapped off)

i will try that hacksaw trick tomorrow

cheers
