What do you mean you can't get on the others? If you can get the rest out, the one that has snapped, should come out, once you lift the head off. Because it shouldn't of bottomed out.

Even if the head snaps off the other 2, the head will lift off over the top giving you loads of room to get some vice grips on them.

If they're too tight for that, weld a nut on, once the head is off obviously.
