none whatsoever. it's snapped approx 4 or 5mm into the hole, otherwise i would have been onto it with the mole grips or would have cut a slot for a screw driver straight away.

i also don't think it's going to be too easy to get at with a centrepunch either due to the depth and the narrowness of the hole and so if stude extractors are to be used, it may need drilling without a starting point - and the broken surface is very rough, so that's going to be a bit precarious!
