Tranny Crossmember - Delete

I was pulling my motor and tranny the other awhile back and when I removed the tranny crossmember I managed to break 3 of the four bolts. What should I do? I take it I'll have to drill them out, and then fill the hole with some sort of metal filler and re-tap it? Anyone got any suggestions?

EDIT - DELETE THIS. PROBLEM SOLVED

use an ez-out. which is basically drilling a hole and putting the ex-out in the hole, then backing the broken bolt out.

If you have a dremel, you can try notching the end of the bolt, making it like a flat head screw. Then maybe you can back it out with a large screwdriver. I'd recommend soaking the bolt in penetrating oil first.
