Broke the MID mounting screw...

OK, you all are going to get a little comic relief out of this.

So, I think I am a pretty technical guy and I have done a lot of circuit level repairs over the years. Well, I decided that I was going to at least look at the ribbon cable on the MID to see if I could fix the pixel problems.

I have read the instructions for MID removal, pretty straight forward.
(I have a great set of tools, it's just that my ex-wifes boyfriend has them all, but I am pretty sure just for safe keeping. He is probably just keeping them clean and organized.)

So being without my torx drivers, I headed to the tool store, got my size 10 torx driver. In the parking lot, just to make sure I had purchased the right size. I removed the MID. Very simple instructions, as others here have posted. I inserted the torx driver into the hole that is visible when the volume know is removed, with a 1/4 turn to the left the MID came right out, even easier than I had hoped. I put it back in, turned the screw to the right 1/4 turn, and drove home.

(I think this is where I messed up. I thought to myself, "this is going to be quick and easy")

Now here's where it gets good. I went to remove it again, this time, when I turned the screw, "POP". The screw broke off inside the little access hole. All I can see through the access hole, is what appears to be the little hole that the screw is supposed to go into. The MID is locked in place.

Does anyone know of another way to get this thing out? I have looked and searched everywhere I could think to look.
ANY help will be greatly appreciated.

I have a 2002 X5, 4.4i, (I'm sure you all know, it is an E53 with M62) , I'm not sure what other info I should provide.

Thanks everyone.
