[FSPA] Screw sheared in post fix?

[Dave Hubbard]

+1 for a screw extractor kit.  They are useful to have.

Barring that, if you are VERY careful, you can use metal-boring bits in a
drill to make a hole, then use a flat-head screwdriver of the same size as
the drill bit to wedge in the hole and provide some torque.  Locking pliers
might help here as well to get the screw on its way.
