    A pic would help but doesnt sound good as its likely the stud extracter is hardened so very very difficult to drill out.

    Drilling the bloody thing was the only way for me, I had the same problem on the infill panel both with the panel bolt and the bracket that clamps onto the exhaust oh! and a dremel to cut the bolt on the clamp! This I then replaced with a stainless bolt, had to keep the bracket as not available anymore, new stainless for the panel and plenty of copper grease

    Have you snapped the extractor flush in the bolt? Or can you get a hold of it to get it out first
