If it’s slightly above the wood you may get lucky with some good grips pliers or snips... get cutters are very good for getting a grip on a protruding screw before slowly turning out... sometimes a bit of heat from a soldering iron helps.
If if it’s not protruding, the brass tube method works well
Once its out plugging and re- drilling is the way forward.

I did see a brilliant video that I can't find right now, where the tech used a Dremel (or similar) to cut a slot in the top of the broken off screw, he then heated it with a soldering iron and then simply unscrewed it using a flatblade screwdriver.

I’ve never had any success with this method so I’m wondering if I’m doing something wrong.
i have screw extractors but generally not impressed. I quite like the idea of cutting a slot with a Dremel and unscrewing it.
