Unless you are good at fiddly delicate things it's best left to an expert.--Normally if they are reasonably easy to get at they need to be drilled DEAD CENTER.--

-Then a stud extractor carefully screwed into the drilled hole.---Now you come to the delicate bit. Stud extractors are made from high carbon steel and are very delicate.--It's VERY easy to put a bit of sideways pressure on the extractor and SNAP it.---You then end up with the doubly difficult job of removing something that is too hard to drill.---

PS. The moral of your story is------If it ain't broke, don't try to fix it.---
