My approach would be to screw the stub up enough to file off any burr where the screw broke, and then to screw it down through the carb, due to the fact that grabbing the lower part of the remaining screw has chewed up the remaining threads. There's just not a lot of room to grab what's left, or much room to maneuver. I'd rather take my chances unscrewing the remains. Once I start drilling, if what's left breaks or collapses, then I have no choice except to drill and retap the hole. I need a better needle nose vise grip.
