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

from a titanium spindle?

If it's a steel screw, the Ti is where you got lucky. Dissolve it out with ferric chloride.
If the screw is Ti too, you're going to have to take your chances with mechanical extraction, left handed drill bit seems to be the most consistently successful

Stainless screw in ti spindle. Thanks, I’ll take a look for that ferric stuff. Drop the spindle in a bath of ferric and the screw disolves?

Is this definitely going to work? I’ll cancel my reordered spindles if so.

Ah, yes. LH drill bit. Forgot about those.
