I overtorqued my pressure plate bolt into my fidanza flywheel and the bolt snapped inside of the flywheel; I have already tried extracting it but the extractor broke inside of the broken bolt :( So now, it's nearly impossible to redrill a hole with that hardass metal inside of it. My question is; how bad would it be to drive it with that one missing bolt on the pressure plate?

i wouldnt risk it.

i had a buddy do the same thing.. the holes that were in the flywheel were all the way through (pretty sure its this way on all s chasis flywheels). i went from the back side of the flywheel and drilled it managed to screw it out.

if anything take it to a machine shop i am sure it wont be but a couple of bucks.. but I would highly recommend fixing it one way or another.
