Broken Screw Extractor

Unbelievable.

 

Broken Craftsman extractor bit by one of the many stripped screws on my bike. I'm all ears for any ideas on how to get this thing out. Below are some close-ups of the offending screw.

 

I soaked the thing with liquid wrench overnight about 3-4 times. Tried tapping it with a screw driver and hammer to "break" it loose. Made sure the low torque extraction was done dipping the bit at a slight angle to help bite. But alas... I heard a snap and sure enough, busted bit.
