If the thing broke off while trying to remove it, an EZ out or other device
probably won't work.  A guy at the hardware store suggested getting a
bushing with the i.d. the size of the fastener, if it is sticking out, or
the o.d. of the bushing the size of the hole if it broke off down inside,
then use a drill the size of the bushing to get a centered start, and can
also be used as sort of a guide.  Duh, why didn't I think of that.
