Just my .02, but don't do anything until you have soaked the 'stub' and the area in general with penetrating oil of some sort! then screw it UP! the break may/will have messed up the threads on the screw, and screwing it DOWN will transfer that to the carb body threads. at worst the screw can be drilled out and re-tapped on the car if done carefully...do not get in a hurry, it costs time IMHO!

Cheers!

P.S. use a transfer punch to center the drill in the steel remainder of the screw if you have to drill, the steel is soft, but not as soft as the carb body, you do not want the drill to 'wander'...start small (.062") and work up.
