I would bother with a screw extractor. I’d just drill out the middle and

Or heat up the end of the screwdriver with a blow torch and melt it out.


Not convinced that that would work if it really is nylon.


Nylon melts at 269C or 516F. MOST but not all are nylon. Some are
even "glass filled" nylon
