Broken bellhousing bolt

Broke the upper passenger side bellhousing bolt and have tried everything to get it out but it seems to be in there for good, but my question is, would it be safe to grind it flat and just go with the other 5 bolts? Any ideas would help

well that is not really recomendable(obviously), but i suppose if your not going to be putting a lot of trque down then it'd probably be okay, but it'd be better to drill it out and retap it or somethin like that, your choice, your risk, of course if you do happen to get some torque or possibly neutral slap it, the bell could come apart, its a risk like always
