Werner I like your techique. I will either use a small wood chisel to work
a screw driver slot or use a soldering gun to melt a slot. The exposed
area is plastic.
Thanks for the help/Tom

Folks, why not take a flat soldering tip and "melt" a slot in the plastic
(the plug that broke is plastic, right?), then you can use a screwdriver
to
turn it out?

I am a little slow. If I go with the left handed drill bit how is that
going to help me get a bite on this thing and remove it please.
Well, often when drilling left-handedly, the force of the bit,
especially if it 'bites' into the body can sometimes start backing
out the thing all on its own. Of course, if it makes it all the
way through without doing this then you've got an unpluggable
hole to deal with.
You might be able to carefully chisel a slot in it and then turn
it out with a big flat bladed screwdriver.
