Dan,
I had this happen to me on a 250 not long ago. I could not extract the broken
stub and ultimately chose to drill it out VERY CAREFULLY keeping chips away from
the motherboard. The torx screw metal is very hard compared with the soft metal
it's threaded into so I could not salvage the original threads. I found, as I
recall, a metric SLIGHTLY larger and threaded it in perfectly. Worked great.
Be mindful that there is not much metal to work with so drill your initial pilot
very accurately. Good luck. If you should need parts for duos contact me off
list.
