Did you break it off?

You can:
-heat it up
-use vise grips
-cleanup and double nut the end and impact it off..

or a combo of a few things..  A pic of the damage would help yes.

if it's the wheel bolt, i've had to drill one out on one of my drums.... i went small bit, larger, and larger until I got near to the threads, then carefully chiselled the threads out, and a final pass with the right sized tap to clean it out.
