I un-wound a paper clip and formed it into the shape of a the number "1" with one side being about a 1/4" and the other side being the remainder of the length of the clip. I covered the 1/4" length in super glue and inserted it into the hole where the needle had broken off. I let the glue set for 10 minutes. I was than able to unscrew what was left of the needle using the long end as my handle/leverage point. It worked perfectly and unscrewed in seconds.
