Yes you can remove the fan.
Have you drilled the bolt and tried a easy out. If not start with a small bit and drill a pilot hole in the center of the bolt, be careful and get as near center as you can. Now you can re drill with a bigger bit and try a easy out.
Take your time and don't rush and get frustrated. Broken bolts can be tough sometimes but they can be gotten out.
Good Luck!
