Question Oil tube broke. Help!!!

I was installing a set of headers on my 95z and when it came time to pull out the oil dip stick tube it broke off at the case. I was wondering if anyone has any ideals? Didn' want to drop oil pan but if this is the only way can someone give me some directions.
Thanks

Try threading a self-tapping screw into the part of the tube that is still in the block ("case").

threading something into it could work spray some pb blaster or wd40 to lube it or a flathead screwdriver to turn it other than that if it is too tight you will need to drop pan just watch the metal shavings in the tube
