I ground two points on the outside edge, then I positioned it on the brass of the broken agraffe, tapped it and turned. I was lucky, as I didn't even lubricate, as someone suggested. Good luck.

Has anyone tried heating the stud ,say with a soldering iron? Any suggestions would be appreciated. When it broke it left a peak across the center making it extremely difficult to drill down the center for an ez out. I managed a slightly off center hole but it's not budging. Thanks.
