Have you tried to place the other broken half on it, jam a 6-point socket
over both halves, and loosen it, as normal?
That might work, but if not, a chisel, punch or 'flame-wrench" may be the
only alternative...

Odd, never heard of that happening. My first inclination would be to
take a hammer and punch, and see if you can turn them that way.
