try something with sharp point, to try and turn it out

If its flush, its going to be a pig to get out, and I'm not even sure drilling will work.

Only thing I can think of would be to loctite something to it, give it 24 hours to set, and then try and unscrew it. You would need to apply downward pressure as well when trying to twist...

This happened to me before I scraped a grooved in with a knife and then used a screwdriver to turn it

Thats a good idea, i'd try to do that. use something to get a deep line across whats left and use a screwdriver to get it out, something like a dremmel, or a small chisel,
