Carbide bit would not help especially if you have brooking tap
the only way to get tap out, you use old top sharping it up and try to
brake remaining part into micro peace's inside of hole, broking peace's
can be pull out by use of magnet or air pressure (air use use safety
glasses) it is very slow process and in most cases you will need renew
the treads with larger tap (blind-tap) and installing larger set screw.
Note: before you use new tap make sure that all parts of old tap or out.
