I broke off a pocket clip screw in the G10 of my Emerson. How can I get that out without screwing up the threads in the G10?

Is there just enough of the threaded screw portion that you can grip it with small pliers and turn it out? The only other option may be to take the knife apart, "spin" the liner off, and turn the screw out from the other side.
On a cheaper knife a few years ago, I had stripped the hole to the point that I could push the remainder of the screw out, then drill & thread a slightly larger hole. It worked fine.
