I say you will be called Mr Bodgy if you leave it. Do it properly something worse could happen cause of it.

Something worse eg. pressure plate decides to come apart at 7000rpm and chop your feet off etc.

Do it properly, in my old job I removed shit loads of snapped bolts that people brought in and most i could bo without a drill or "Easy-out".

So long as the thread isn't rooted i would say that you could remove the pressure plate etc and just spin the remains of the bolt out slowly by turning and tapping it out (i.e. unscrewing it) with a small steel pick (a very small flat head screwdriver will suffice).

Not too hard to do and then you know it's safe and won't have catastrophic failure.

Edit: the bolts are not hard to get either, just take a good one down to your local metal centre/nut and bolt shop to match it and get a set of decent quality high tensile bolts, probably only cost baout $10 too.
