Here's a thread on my recent, similar, experience. I drilled out the middle of the broken screw enough to get a screw-extractor in; then, using that extractor, I was able to remove the entire bushing which I then replaced.
I think your suggestion has the possibility of doing less damage than my Dremel. In this case, slower is better.Originally Posted by Suvorov
You could give a call to Brownell's
Go to Harbor Freight and buy the smallest lefthand twist drill bits you can find.
Soak the screw in Kroil then chuck the smallest one up and start counter-clockwise drilling out the center of the screw stepping up drill bit sizes until the screw backs out.

Inexpensive, and you can have it tomorrow.
When I had a similar problem I ordered a few new bushings. Once I had them, I unscrewed the bushing from the frame and tossed it. I put the new bushing in w/ some locktite and staked it as well as I could. It's been fine for a year +.
