I think this happened to someone else a little while back. They got some tool at like autozone to get it out.

What tool is that? I would be interested in that "fo sho"! If the threads are a little raised, or even if not, take a small screw driver and a hammer and try to work them out, or you could drill it and re-thread it. It is also possible you could use a small drill bit, drill through the middle of the threads, and then try to back the threads out with the drill bit.
