The rotor (if that's what it's called) I'm assuming has snapped off this auto bridge (again if that's what you call it) and left part of the screw behind. Is the easiest option to just get a new auto bridge to replace it?  |

Probably. Wouldn't cost much. The rotor (if that's what it's called) I'm assuming has snapped off this auto bridge (again if that's what you call it) and left part of the screw behind. Is the easiest option to just get a new auto bridge to replace it? |

Same seller has a bunch of them. Pick the best.
Alternatively, can you not work the stub of the screw out with a needle?

Best way is with a stake although you can't buy a rose cutter stake anymore. If the screw has any tension on it or a smidge of rust the ole needle trick won't work. You could try a broach or drill a hole in the top and jam a broach in there. Bergeon sell a very expensive screw extraction tool but you need to be able to get to both sides of the screw. You could probably made a flat stake for one side for this sort of job.  Same seller has a bunch of them. Pick the best. Alternatively, can you not work the stub of the screw out with a needle? |

That screw you could probably use alum to remove. The screw is steel and the bridge is stainless steel or brass.
