Default Small, broken drills in aluminum...

How the holy hades do you get them out?! I wanted to run my Toki, but the old wooden adapter was falling apart on me, so I decided to make a nice aluminum one. After going to great pains to make a nice piece, I was drilling the last four holes that were to be tapped 2-56 for holding the engine down and the stupid, cheap*** Chinese drill broke! You probably already realize that the aluminum had galled nicely, clamping the unreachable piece nice and tight. Now what?
