Blu tack (or whatever it’s called there) + a plastic tube to act as your dam?

Thanks, that’s a trick I’d forgotten although in this case I would be concerned
about damaging the aluminum on the OD of the rocket.
I’m currently soaking the offending bits in Aluminum Sulfate solution although
the clay dam may not work long term as it appears to be soaking up water from
the solution.

Yeah, a countersunk fastener makes that attack difficult.
With a small burr and considerable care (or an improvised guide --
clamp a flat surface nearby as a fence for the Dremel to slide
against?), not to mention considerable patience, you can cut a
sloppy-but-usable slot freehand.
For that matter, with a Dremel and a supply of diamond burrs, you can
get just about any not-too-deep broken bit out a piece at a time...
eventually...
Grinding on the hex bit is a good idea, I just need to dislodge it
and a hex driver will handle the rest.
Yes, if you can dislodge it -- grind it, hammer it, maybe put a drop
of LN2 on it to make it contract -- that's undoubtedly the quickest
thing.
