Can I have a link to this item? How does it look like?

For example, KIT FOR REMOVING BREAKED SCREWS SCREWS THREAD

This kit actually works, so I have my say.
However, with such a small screw, it is completely useless.
The only thing left is to drill.
Of course, after removing the board, you have to check if it still works properly.

I solved the problem! The drilling method helped - I bought a small 2 mm drill bit and slowly the drill worked.
