1. Why are you afraid to drill out the remainder?

Is you did drill it out, would you be able to find a bolt to replace it?

The first thing that I would do is contact the manufacturer. You say it was supposedly a good quality chair and was expensive, so even if they wouldn't do anything for you after this amount of time, it couldn't hurt to try. They at least should know that this is a problem, because maybe they are one of the few companies that would care. You at least may be able to find out if a replacement bolt is available.

I am not all that handy myself, so I can't help further.
