I don't know the vehicle, but is access so bad that you can't drill a hole in the bolt and use an easy out?

Just order a bolt extractor in hope it will work(cant break it more than I have)
And it's a freelander td4 04 plate.
Replaced rocker gasket and it spat diesel out so thought tighten the bolts that hold injectors down and snap.

Injector nuts on studs require just 9Nm of torque.
If the injector is leaking then remove and replace the copper washer and O ring having cleaned out the injector hole first.

Hopefully there may be some stud still sticking out to unscrew.

Well that would explain the leak as no o ring or washer.thoughr it was cheap.
