Broke bolt off in timing rail guide

I was using the washer/bolt method to remove the upper timing chain guide and it went great for the upper pin. However, the lower pin seems to be stuck real good. I've been hitting it with PB but it hasn't helped yet.

When I first put the bolt in I stripped a few threads out of the pin so I took some washers off to get further into the pin. It worked well as the bolt went much further into the pin, however once I got to the point where I thought the pin was about to pop, the bolt broke instead. Now I've got a partially stripped pin with a bolt stuck in it.

The bolt should be easy enough to get back out since it's covered in PB but I think if I just try the same thing again with a new bolt I will break the bolt off in the pin again.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Anyone want to trade an old Volvo for an '87 300sdl?
