Help!

I just received my Ati Silencer in the mail today and decided to install it. As I was putting on the retention bracket, the head of the screw popped/broke off. The thread of the screw is firmly in place and I don't know how I would remove it.

Any ideas? I would try an drill, but that seems like a little too heavy duty for my precious x850xt pe.
 
Might not be a good idea because you are working on a graphics card but:

Use a strong magnet on the screw, twist the magnet and hopefully the screw will twist as well.


EDIT:
Better idea!
Attach like a pen to the screw with Krazy glue, let it dry and then twist the pen and screw!
