Broke valve cover bolt

Take the cover back off and anything else to gain access to the hole.
Since it broke going in, we know its not frozen. So that's good, provided you didn't crossthread it and it was going in easy.
First, try a pick and see if you can work it out by turning it out. If its loose in there, it should come out easily. If it doesn't move, the next step is to drill the center and put a removal tool in it to back it out. If that fails, you may want to take off the head and either work at it more or take it to a machine shop and have them get it out.
Be careful to NOT DAMAGE THE HEAD.....

So the Hondabond 4 or Hondabond high temp silicone?
Also when I performed the valve clearance check I didn't remove the throttle body but now I have to so I can remove the cylinder head cover to get at the broke bolt, but it's a pain in the butt and won't budge. How can I take it off easier?
