I bet a lot of folk that think they have warped rotors really have springs on backwards!!
Can you get the drill bit out?
If you have room, the best approach is to make a flat(ish) surface so you can punch a center, and as Peterbaron has said: drill a pilot and use an extractor (or Left hand tap).
If the bolt has thread-locker (loctite or whatever), you can break it loose with a heat-gun (could this warp the disc? mmm...
)
