Default '1978 25' hunter replace keel bolts

Howdi,
Does anyone know how difficult it is to replace keel bolts in a lead
keel hunter. My starboard keel bolt broke as I was trying to torque
it. It was heavily corroded and stripped around the nut so I had put
washers on the corroded portion and was tightening when it broke on
that portion. The aftmost bolt has a similar situation but did not
break.
Since the bolts are placed into the molten steel at construction does
that mean I can't drive them out and put new bolts?
