exactly why i am letting the garage do my new brakes.

besides, i can work 3 hours overtime which pays for it while its being done

would have taken me WAY more than 3....

Your going to have to drill it out or get a new caliper. If you decide to drill it, I'd pick up a new bleeder first so you can select a SAFE sized drill bit. If you damage the threads in the caliper with a drill, your going to need the caliper anyway. Once you drill the remains out, compressed air is really helpful. And bleed a bunch of fluid out of the caliper to force any shavings out.

If you decide to replace the caliper with a new or remanufactured unit, you really should replace both sides at once for even stopping and pad wear.
