Tripod Bolt stuck in camera, any help?

[Brodie]

The bolt part of a tripod has snapped off and it is now stuck in my camera and I can't mount it on another tripod unless I get it out. I've tried using pliers but they just cut into the plastic rather than grip to unscrew.

Michael has suggested a jewelry store would have the tools to remove it, I hope this fixes it, any of you guys have any ideas on how you would remove it?

If I understood you correctly (a pic might help), use super glue to attach something to the bolt part and then unscrew it.

Yeah take it to a jewelery shop, when i used to work in a garage we would drill a tool into snapped bolts and once the toold was drilled in we could then turn it the opposite way to unscrew the bolt

A Jewelery shop must have something similar to this to deal with smaller screws
