Default 04 cav broken engine cradle frame bolt at the back

hi I was working on my 2004 cav.. needing to replace clutch in my tranny..

2 spots bolts broke off... the front rubber mount for the tranny.. the head broke off so I cant get rubber out... and the passanger side the frame bolt that holds the engine up.. it broke right off at the head.. that 6" bolt or so.. driver side came out.. passanger side didn't.. now I cant lower engine to remove transmission...

how do you fix this problem as I cant be the only one with it

here the couple pics ... the 1 is the rubber mount.. all I can think is torch the rubber out and get the bolt out...

now you see in other pic how the bolt holds in frame well that broke off the head so the entire bolt is in there.. I cant lower car since that bolt goes on an angle... what tricks have you guys done
