First, try the easy thing...
Remove the OTHER bolt & take off the hose. Now, there might just be enough of the broken bolt to grab with needlenose pliers. Or use a centerpunch to hit it off-center to drive it counterclockwise to loosen it.
If that doesn't work, you haven't spent any money nor spent too much wasted time trying.
Either way (new pump or not) you have to remember that the O-ring seals just by being there. If it leaks, overtightening the bolts will DO NOTHING to improve it.
