Oh gosh, I know what you're going through. Pissed me off so much. Broke the tip off of my Snap-on 3/8 drive Phillips screw driver head socket. I was using that and my Snap-on Impact (You hit the end of the impact so many times with aand it turns it, never failed on me until then.) What I did was drill out the screw heads with a drill bit one size bigger than the screws themselves, then tapped out the screws. Didn't damage the part at all. When I put it back together I installed 8mm hex sockets to make it much easier next time. Good luck

Catch me if you can
Yes, you can remove the broken bolts and or fix the threads. It might be cheaper / quicker to get a different side cover though. I have at least 2-3 of them I would sell for $10 each plus shipping ( $8.50 via priority mail ).
