Update 2 on crank bolts

My plan is to get new crank bolts new crank seal used OEM harmonic balancer and extract the bolts and install it all just worried if the crank hub damage will cause it to not sit properly anyone ever seen this before? Just don’t wanna lock the engine in TDC so trying to figure it out thanks.

5 of 6 crank bolts snapped off

First post didn’t get much engagement so I’ll add more details so…. Thought it was just a tensioner guess it’s more than that lol do you think the crank hub is damaged? Or can I get these out without damaging it and having to lock the timing to change the crank hub and take out Jesus bolt also my car was produced 11-22-07 and it has a 6 bolt so must be it’s had a motor swap already at one point because if it was produced this year and had factory motor it would be a 8 bolt… my car is a automatic so yeah idk just trying to figure out more info if it’s even gonna be worth it to fix this or if I should plan to just get a new motor just don’t wanna waste the time on fixing this and have it not even work and not be worth it and have to go get a new motor anyway so looking for advice this just really sucks I saved up a bunch of money to her this car and only have had it a week so any advice would be greatly appreciated
