Sheared Exhaust Bolt

What's your best advise for removing a sheared bolt from the fixing to the cat. Thanks
Off for a walk to buy some more penetrating oil,  :-? :-?

drilling, and lots of it, may be best stocking up on small drill bits

Afraid it's likely going to be lots of drilling :(

don't get cheap drill bits, like a certain admin did  ::)

They are even harder to drill out! Start small and work up in sizes  :y
