Default broken valve cover bolt

I was putting my valve cover back on and I snapped the valve cover bolt into the head of the engine where the bolt screws into. What should I do to get it out? I was told an easy out tool. Also my honda dealer should havea valve cover bolt but I have to get the snapped off piece out first. I have a week to fix this cause im driving across the county. Help needed!!!! My engine is a D16Y7 sohc obviously.

Thanks

A tiny EZ Out should do it if you are careful. You could also weld something to it and then grab that with pliers to twist it out.

Sears and other tool stores sell EZ Outs.
