Stock XJ Front tow points

So, I took off my front bumper on my XJ to install the rugged ridge tow points. It looks like I should have went with C4x4 instead since they have more mounting points for the reinstall of the bumper. Just afraid that my bumper wont be as secure since I have one less mounting point between the two.

Also I managed to shear off the top of one of the 3 mounting screws (driver side) when removing this bumper so that the rest of the screw is still in the jeep unibody. Any ideas of how to get it out? It was the one of the three thats buried in the frame further back as opposed to the two closest to the bumper.

I have some pictures here below of the screw I sheared off and the bumper and tow stuff:

Dude: Usually a good wack with a hammer and squirt the heck out of it with PB Blaster. If you have any kind of torch, Propane-Butane-Mapp heat it and try it. If you cant grab any of it with locking pliers. you will probably have to drill it and use an easy-out . Or drill it out and re-tap the hole . Shouldnt be that bad. Good luck. FjR68
