cheaper and easier to move the hole or make a new part. I have seen tap extracters on the Snap On truck. not cheap and I don't think they go down that small.

If the fastner was put in with thread locker put a soldering iron on it. Like mentioned earlier it'll soften up the loctite and come out real easy. If the slot method doesnt work you can drill it and use an easy out.

Broken taps and easyouts suck there is no easy way to get them out. There are broken tap extractors but if its a real small tap you might be out of luck.
