If you snapped the center bolt while trying to back it out, it's stuck and isn't going to come out without a fight, even with an easy-out. You might try a left-handed drill bit: http://www.northerntool.com/shop/too...4105_200384105.
The jarring reverse action might be enough to work it loose. But drilling the crank while in the car isn't going to be the easiest or most accurate (centered & straight in) thing to do either. Be sure to use a bit that's smaller than the bolt diameter so you don't ruin the crank threads if you wander a little off course.
Oh yeah, and heat the crap out of it with a torch before drilling too.
