Drill a small reverse bit into the broken bolt. Then use a reverse, drill out bolt. It should come out easily. You could try a small chisel. A chisel may turn it loose too.

The stud shown in the first picture holds the bottom of the tensioner. I will remove it for inspection but it looks ok to me. The picture may be distorted. I am concerned that the bracket with the stud is all the way at its adjustment limit for the lowest amount of tension. I need to check those bolts and the manual to see where it should be positioned.
I was able to get the bolt tip removed easily with a reverse twist drill.
Thanks. DC
