Default Broken screw in the crankshaft

So today when I was rebuilding my Alpha A830, i snapped the screw that holds the clutch on. A piece of the screw is stuck in the crank.

Do anyone have any idea if there is av way to get the screw out without breaking the crank? Or do I have to buy a new one?

If you try to do it yourself you will most likely ruin it. If you send it to a professional micro engine guy they may be able to salvage it.

I would choose RC renew since he is the USA Alpha importer.
