Not that it matters, but I decided it would be a good idea to modify
it. However, the terminal screw broke as I was tightening it (I don't
think I'll be buying MK again). By chance, I have a replacement
screw. Is there a recognised way of getting the broken screw out?


You'll probably just have to drill it out unless it is a very loose fit
in which case it may 'tease out' with a pair of tweezers or similar
implement.


How do you drill without dethreading the hole? I can see this going
badly.
