Go to your local HW store and purchase an EZ out, if you have a decent 
HW store or NAPA nearby ask how to use it properly if you do not already 
know.  They come in many sizes from tiny to extra large and should let 
you back out all but the most stubborn of broken off screws (like when I 
used an EZ out to remove a broken wheel bolt on my 348), or last summer 
when I used it to remove a stripped hex head retaining bolt on a front 
brake rotor...  Its a must have tool for the home mechanic, I keep it 
next to the rubber mallet :)

BR,
