I had a tape brake when I was reaming a hole

There are tap extractors. They look like a tap with three or four fingers that slide along grooves on the sides. You should be able to find the right size in MSC.
Another way is brute force. Bust it out with a cold chisel, drill and tap a bigger size.

If it is broke in stainless steel or Titanium, soak it in Ferric Chloride and it will eat the tap out of the hole.
