I don't know if this will work but it is worth a try.
If the bolt is loose as apposed to there being a lot of friction or
corrosion. I would find a magnet like the telescoping kind you might find in
an auto parts store, and then I would try to slowly turn the bolt out using
the magnet like a screw driver. You may need to be very patient.  Also , and
you will need to be careful with this idea, put a dot of some aggressive
adhesive like gorilla glue or super glue, on the end of a small dowel or
some thing like that and basically weld it to what is left of the bolt, when
it is sufficiently dry turn it out taking care not to brake the weld you
made.

Subject: [BlindHandyMan] broken bolt

I've got a broken chair here. Made of metal. One of the bolts holding the
back of the chair to the frame broke off, leaving a small portion of the end
of the bolt in the hole. It doesn't stick out, so I can't get a grip on it.
Any suggestions on getting this little piece out so I can fit a new bolt in?
