Quoted from Nikrox2:

I have 2 screws broken off. One a little nub left, but the other broken off in the hole.
What's the trick here to get these out to put new ones in?

If the nub is tall enough try the vise grip approach. If there isn't enough nub, you can try cutting a screwdriver slot on the end of the nub with a dremel and diamond disc/wheel. These discs are available at Harbor Freight and they are razor thin. After you cut the slot you can use a small screwdriver. Another approach I've used is drilling the end of the nub with a small left handed drill bit. Left handed bits work great for removing broken screws. Sometimes you just touch the broken screw with the spinning bit and the screw quickly backs out.
