Crank Pulley Bolt Broken

I have managed to break the bolt holding the damper pulley on to the front of the crank on my 3.5 DOHC. After many attempts to remove the bolt with a breaker bar, I resorted to "the starter trick".

After crank attempt #5 I thought I had broken loose the bolt, only to find out I had BROKEN the bolt.

So... any tips on removing the rest of it? It's been soaking in PB Blaster for the last 36 hours. Current plans are to drill it down the center and attempt to use an "Easy-Out".

Any other suggestions welcome.
