go to the hardware and purchase a pair of vice grips and clamp down on the end of the screw head and start unscrewing it back out. a pair of needle nose pliers will do the trick. you might have to dig around the screw to expose
the screw more to get a bite onto the end of it.

All the other answers are good. If you have to drill the screw out, there is a cheapie kit you can buy that will drill into the screw and then has something that fits into that tiny hole that will allow you to twist it out. Will not mess up your wall that way. The kits can be hard to find but they are out there. Some guy at the hardware store put me onto this product when trying to get some rusty screws out of some plumbing fixtures and it worked like a charm.

Hi there, if the screw head broke off and once the other screws or out, the mirror should be able to slide off of the broken screw. If the broken screw still has part of the head on it and it is preventing the mirror form coming off and, you can't get a pair of pliers on the screw, which you probably can't, then you will have to drill the remainder of the screw head off. And then the mirror will come off, and you can take a pair of pliers and grab the screw tightly with the pliers and twist it until it is out of the wall.

the 1st step turn off potential to the bulb and unplug the lamp. Step 2 placed on protective gloves. Step 3 Grip the steel lip of the bulb with needle- nostril pliers. Step 4 gently unscrew the bulb base, turning it a similar way you could an unbroken bulb. Watch your palms on a similar time as turning the bulb base. Sheered glass remnants could nonetheless be interior. Step 5 get rid of the bulb base from the socket. Step Six verify to hoover up any broken glass from the floor.

If the screw is broken, it is no longer holding the mirror, so finish removing the mirror. Chisel out the plaster around the broken screw until the screw can be grasped with a Vise-Grip pliers. Then back out the screw, and finish by patching with spackle and painting.

Get a drill and with a small size metal drill bit the kind you use to drill a hole not the screw driver type that is about the same size as the screw and drill it out. be careful not to slip and break your mirror.

Right. Drill it out and patch the hole with drywall or wood putty or whatever your walls are..
