I bought some 550 Carbs on eBay that this happened to.  I took a narrow flat blade screw driver and tapped it into the soft brass.  Just enough to get a bite.  It screwed right out.

   Found out the hard way that drilling isn't good. The clockwise rotation of the bit just screws the stub deeper in the hole.

  Good point.  I couldn't find one small enough at my local stores, and being the impatient type decided to turn a few day setback into a two week one... ;)
