HELP!! Need to remove Snapped plastic bleeder screw above fuel filter

Please help!
Part of the plastic bleeder screw above my fuel filter got overtightened and snapped off, the rest is still in the hole. Any tips on how to get it out??
Thanks for any ideas.

if you do not have easy out's, you could try a phillips or robertson screw driver just put the screw driver in the left over plastic and tap lightly to make an impression in the plastic part and try turning it out

x2. could also drill a small pilot hole and use a reverse thread self tapping screw. or drill a hole and beat an allen wrench into it. that usually does the trick.
