Broken steering knuckle bolt

I was removing my suspension for new struts and springs. The bolt that clamps the knuckle onto the strut broke. So obviously the shock can't be removed.
What should I do? Attempt to drill it out (which seems like a pain. Do I get a new knuckle?
Bolts were rusty, let them soak over night with penetrate. It's was a coastal car, so I think the salty air did its thing. Plus being a northeast car getting winter.
