Post need help, stuck screw

i was changing my licence plate cover and one of the two screws at the rear snapped. The head of one screw snapped and the rest is still in the car(screw was rusted) I dont know what to do and i was wondering if you guys had any suggestions i.e. recommended garages?

yeah, i went for the drill method.

when i got my car, the car dealer didn't bother taking out the rusted stumps from the last owner, so they drilled holes into the bumper to mount the licence plate, so pissed about it :-\

need a new front bumper anyways
