My opposition and caution has more to do with the removal of the other 4 bolts and injectors. Now that the engine cannot be run, there are not effective ways to heat it in a way to remove the bolts/injectors. And even then, the risk of snapping another bolt is there. I would try to remove the broken bolt by itself before taking off the head/cam cover.
Since I've never done that, it seems to me that the head/cam cover could be removed with the injectors in place, if the hold down bolts thread in to the head/cam cover and not the block below. If that is true, maybe it WOULD be easier and safer to remove the head/cam cover with the injectors installed to get at the broken bolt.
