Glazing shims or packing pieces if you need packers, although they’re brightly coloured.
Try and dig out around the end of the snapped screw and get a set of mole grips on it, or the jaws of a 3 jaw chuck on a drill. The drill method is why I usually do but it’s hard when the screw is snapped flush.

Look at plug cutters to get the screws out.

the screws of an internal door ripped out at the weekend. It's a bit of a bodge in the door frame with snappped screws, screws at angles and corrugated cardboard used as a spaces.
I'm going to drill some of it out and glue in some doweling to repair the holes. my questions are; how do I remove the snapped screws and is there something better to use as a spacer than cardboard?
