Destroyed bolt holding points/advance to cam...

Broke right in two while I was wrenching it back in. Now I have half a bolt stuck in my camshaft, and EZ Outs ain't workin' (easy my ass!). What's the next step? Never tapped and died anything, is that the best bet? It's pretty fucked up in there right now.

'72 CB100, btw.
 
Also, the whole EZ Out deal may have destroyed the threads inside the camshaft. Would I just be better off trying to find a new cam? I imagine that thing would be hard as hell to run new threads into, much less risking the chance of throwing off the balance. Thoughts?
 
Drill it out and tap it for an 8mm bolt. You'll be OK so long as you can get an 8mm through the advancer.
