I think what I would try is a transfer punch the size of the bolt. Then I would proceed to smack it with a hammer until I destroy it trying to get a center punch in the middle of that bolt. Then if you do... as others have suggested... use a drill guide to try and keep the drill going straight. Hopefully that bolt didn't bottom out on the block... it will be really tough to use an easy out if it did.
I also agree with dirtman... final torque on most torque to yield stuff is in degrees not in foot pounds.
Another thing... if you can get the broken bolt issue resolved... I would pull the other head off also.. new bolts... proper procedure and give the head installation another go entirely.
