A mechanic I know uses a carbide burr in a high speed air drill and
grinds it out from the center to the edge, then peels/picks the left
over parts out of the threads, if you have room to get to the spot. If
the easyout isn't real tight cut a groove/slot in the top of the
easyout, with the burr or dremil and try turning it out with a
screwdriver. You can also remove a broken stud with the same technique.
Sometimes if you use a left hand cutting drill and bit to drill out the
stud it will come loose and unscrew itself when you are drilling it.
