How deep down is the bolt broken off? You might have enough room to stuff an aluminum (so it doesn't trash the threads) bushing in it. I think the threads are 3/8" or 7/16". You can try a couple of bolts to check that. Then get a bushing from the hardware store with a 1/4" ID and whatever the OD is. You might have to go to a 3/16" ID. This is all contingent on there being enough depth for the bushing.
