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.

We got an M6 tool steel tap out of Ti this way. Worth doing your own research on the effectiveness on stainless steel, I'm not sure whether ferric chloride will go through the passivation layer easily, so it might at least need some help, probably depending on which alloy.

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
