I have had nothing but bad luck with easy outs. Also nothing but bad luck with drilling it out. I always wound up being off center. This is what I would do, and have the best luck with this. I don't know how good you are at welding, but take a nut that will just fit around what is left of stud, and weld the stud to the inside of nut. Then you can get back on the thing with a wrench. It is usually best to imediately cool the nut/stud after welding. A little dangerous but I use a can of like WD-40 to squirt on nut (solely to cool it). Then get on it with a wrench right away while some of the heat is still there (hopefully the majority of the heat is in block). If nut busts off again you can simply reweld another nut on there. I have done this with stud busted off flesh, and even busted off a little inside hole. I have had fairly good luck doing this. And if it fails you can always resort to another process, unlike having an easy out snapped off in there. If you don't have a welder / don't know how to weld you can probably have somebody do it with a portable welder. A wire welder would work better but a stick welder would work.
