Valve cover bolt snapped

Title says it all. I was tightening the last bolt in my valve cover and, thanks to my own stupidity I over tightened it and snap. This is more of a rant than me wanting advice but, any suggestions as to my next step?

I did something similar when upgrading my fuel injectors and snapped the middle bolt on the fuel rail.

I bought a set of EZ-Outs to remove the bolt.

See: http://www.brokentap.com/easy-outs.html

The night before, I sprayed some WD-40 around the broken bolt ands let it seep in. When I used my reverse drill-bit to start the pilot hole for the EZ-Out, the bolt came out straight away - I didn't even need to use the EZ-Out bit!
