Default Hella Micro DE: Sheared head off positioning bolt

Ok folks, in today's edition of "break something while fixing something else"... While installing my Hella Micro DE's, there are two 8mm positioning bolts that hold it in the bracket on each side. While getting vigorous I sheared the head off one of the bolts.

The other one is on there pretty tightly. Not sure how successful I'll be at drilling it out, or if that'll even work. Think some epoxy resin would hold? Ugh.

Edit: Meh. Just ordered one of these. I love Amazon Prime, I'll try it out tomorrow.
