As for getting it out, use an 11/32 drill bit. Get a cheap bit, break it off at a 30degree angle so the leading edge will catch first in reverse, then back it out.

I was going to try an easy out.
If it completely tears it out, then just drill it out completely.

Not to sound like a smart @$$ but you sure do break a lot of parts when you work on it!
