If you don't have GOOD access, I would remove as JB said. Then drill the holes to the minor diameter of the screws and retap the threads using the proper tap. I've done this many times in many different situations. I always take a grinder, if I can, and grind the sheared area smooth so I can really see the center of the broken fastener. Use a punch to mark the center and get your bit tracking right. Start small and work up. Good luck, C.
