evidently it broke in the hole. There is nowhere to grip it on

Can I take a tiny drill bit and drill it out or is there an easier
way?

Instead of a drill you're probably going to want to use an easy-out
to
attempt to back the screw out. You can also drill out the hole and
replace the screw with a bigger one.
You have to drill a hole in the screw to fit the easy out into don't
you know?
