Extremely seized bolt in Kmember

*2016 Mazda3 automatic 117,561* Trying to get the horizontal bolt out from my lower control arm and it breaks off inside the frame. Tried heat, pounding it out, vice grips and I can’t get a bolt extractor on it because of the location of where it is at. Any suggestions or help would be stellar! I don’t have access to a weld or even know a welder but I fear that I’m going to have to weld or some how get another bolt head on to the exposing side since I can’t get to the back of the bolt.
