i can tell you the drivers side is easier due to not having any accesories other than air and coil mounted to the front

is any of the bolt's sticking out of the head at all? have you tried an easy-out?

if you did not already, get the header right out of your way, if it is sticking out a little then you can try to get a rounded nut removal socket on the stud that is sticking out, or they also make a stud remover that you hammer onto the stud. find out what exactly you have to work with first

Maybe I'm not reading you right but by the sounds of it I would take the header right out before trying to remove the head itself.

I had a bolt break off in my block. I was able to get a drill and drill a small hole and insert a special bit from Sears and back it out. Hopefully it is in good location.
