Can you cut a slot in it with a Dremel tool cutoff tool? That does a good job on hardened material and you should be able to wiggle it and hopefully work the broken out piece.

I had a hex drive socket shear off in a fastener today. Â

The hex sheared at the top of the fastener, of course, so there is nothing to grab; it also appears to be cocked in the fastener and so won’t just fall out.

I’ve tried drilling the broken hex but it’s tool steel....
