I have two potential options. 

 

1. You can drill out the broken anchor and install a Hilti HISN threaded insert with an equivalent bolt. We do this with the SAFER Barrier when we damage an anchor. 

 

2. You could replace the post attachment bracket with a modified one that has a longer lower-left steel tab. The tab could be lengthened by 2" such that a new anchor could be installed without interfering with the original.

 

Let me know if that helps
