The easiest way to remove the breakaway bolts on the steering column in
with a bolt extractor.  This is a tool you can get at any FLAPS  that's
about an inch or so long and one end is cylindrical with little grooves
and the other end is a hex for your wrench.  Simply hammer the extractor
into the hole in the middle of the bolt where the breakaway part was (if
you get new bolts you'll see what I mean) and use a wrench to turn it
out.  It worked so well for me that I was tempted to not get new bolts,
but for reasons of safety I did.

Also, this tool will come in handy whenever you have a stripped head on
a bolt or screw. It also works if the head of the bolt has broken off.
