Does anyone know of a way to remove a sheared 4mm threadlocked screw from a titanium spindle?

Looks pretty horrid. Is it seized in there?

To start with I’d probably get two blocks of wood and hold the thing in the vice, get a tiny punch and see if I can tap it out? If it isn’t seized it should be quite easy to unwind

It was assembled with threadlock. I don’t think it’s seized, but then the screw sheared off, so perhaps?

If it’s stuck enough for a head to shear off a screw, surely tapping it out won’t work. Also it’s hard to get into the recess.
