indyzmike is correct that the drill should be the last option. Breaking cap screws was an everyday occurrence in the railroad removing the air valves. So I know that even if broken flush welding a nut on top of the broken screw was the best way. Drilling you got to have lots of room around the area you are going to drill. Then you have to get a center punch to make a tiny indentation on the center of the broken screw so as to keep it centered or else there is the danger of drilling to the side and messing up the threads.
But if you do not know how to weld (forget it) go to a professional to do the job.
