Broken Oil Pan Bolt

Ah! :firedevil

So, after a few months driving around since replacing my rear main I notice I still have a leak. I decide to check the oil pan bolts. I set my torque wrench to 15lbs and start working my way around it. *SNAP* one on the rear breaks! I'm not sure how 15lbs would have broken it, unless the 12 inch extension changed the power.

Am I screwed?
 
drill a hole in the center of bolt and use an easy out. the bolt should come right out if it was taken out only a few months ago and with only 15lbs of torque applied.
