How would you do it?

I have a stud broken off 2 threads above the surface? and it is stuck, really really bad.

it must be removed, and it can't be drilled where it is.

the stud is steel, the housing is aluminum. a 90 degree drill short bit can't get in there.

any new ideas?
 
The coefficient of linear thermal expansion of aluminum is about twice as large as for steel, so if they are heated the aluminum housing might expand faster than the steel stud. That might make it loose enough to grab what is left with a pliers and maybe unscrew.
