Another thing to try is heating the broken bolt with a soldering iron. A few heating/cooling cycles might help loosen things. To get them really hot, without damaging the case, you can heat a steel rod with a gas torch and then put the hot end of the rod on the bolt.

It helps if you can get the broken bolts square under a drill press. And use a deep centre punch mark. These two things stop the drill bit skating about. Then, if you can run your drill anticlockwise, you need short left-hand drill bits. If you are lucky these work like extractors, and...

Good oil and plenty of it.
