I'd try an EX1 extractor first. https://www.google.com/search?rlz=1C1CH ... 1Ue_q6j96A I've removed over a dozen broken side plate and bail screws successfully with this little gem. I usually start with a smaller 1/16" drill bit first, though. Maybe even a #2 if you need a little larger size.

i ordered some left hand cutting drill bits yesterday but i imagine the white galvanic corrosion has fused the threads to the rotor once this stuff takes a holt of something it usually is a permanent lock tite
