Here is one trick.

Drill it out by hand, not using a machine drill, at a diameter smaller than the threads. Then pick out the threads. I have a jeweller's drill that you twirl by hand (I can't remember what they are called).

Good luck.

If you can't find an extractor small enough you may also be able to just
drill it out; just need to be careful of the threads. You may also need to
just drill it out and rethread the hole for a slightly larger screw.
