Concur with Aaron G above, but I have the following comments:
a) Use a cobalt 135 degree split-point bit that is no more than 1/3 the diameter of the original sheared bolt. It does not have to be a "reverse" drill bit. Just drill a smooth hole. If possible, use a Dremel tool or similar to produce a smooth, level surface to drill into.
b) Use a proper bolt extractor (see 'photo in TurboCon's post) and the handle that works with either a tap or a die.
c) I'm a HUGE believer in CorrosionX. Spray the sheared bolt head, wait 15 minutes and voila! Repeat if necessary (although its been rare that I've had to do a repeat "soak". See link below for info re: CorrosionX. (BtW: I do not work for CX, just know how effective it is.)
d)Be Patient!
Good Luck
