Mike,
I just looked at your photo and I would like to add a correction. The
broken off "screw" you described looks more like a broken off bolt to me.
You can safely put a two second first tack on the end of that one to get
things started. .

This is what I would do. Using your MIG welder, put a tack weld on the end
of the screw. A short one second tac for the first one . Then stack
another tack or two or three or four on top of that. Using a pair of vise
grips, twist the tacked on tacks. It may easily break off the first time or
even the second time. That is a good thing because you only want to tack to
the end of the screw and nothing more. The heat will break the rust bond
and the screw will come out easily.
Drilling and attempting to use easy outs are a waste of time and most
certainly you will bugger up the threads no matter have meticulous you
are. Been there and done that many times.
