Could try these if you can find one small enough?
Gunna be tricky though, what size is the tap?
You’d need to drill a little starter hole in the bit of broken off metal...
Maybe just drilling it out (as rodolpho says) would be your best bet

You can definitely drill it out. Also with tapping, there will be a specified drill bit to the tap e.g 5mm for m6x1 tap and use plenty of cutting grease

Dafuq do I do now?
Drilled a hole to tap threads for mudguards. Silly me drilled a hole that was too small. Tap broke in frame. Can't get it out. Have tried everything I could think of.. any ideas?
The tip was already through the other side when it broke. I managed to break it off quite far into the dropout, so the there is only material from the tap about half way (maybe 2/3rds) through the hole.
