Remove broken screw in wood

[Mokhalad]

Hi!
This question has surely been asked several times, but I can't find a really good solution.
How can I remove the broken screw according to the picture?

Drill it out with a metal drill. Then glue a träplugg in place, possibly drill a larger hole that fits the träplugg, and then you can attach a new screw.

Drill it out with a metal drill bit. Then glue a wood plug there, possibly drill a larger hole that fits the wood plug, and then you can attach a new screw.

I've tried that but haven't succeeded. The drill bit "slips" in all directions. I stopped then to avoid damaging the post. What size drill bit should be used? Same diameter as the screw, larger or smaller?

I believe there are "small" hole saws where you drill/saw around your broken screw until it comes loose or you can pry it out... and then plug with a wooden plug.

Ok, I guess I'll try once more.
Thanks for all the responses.

Try using a plug cutter, you should then be able to grab the screw with a narrow pliers if it is too deep. https://www.biltema.se/verktyg/borr/traborr/pluggskararsats-konisk-4-st-2000019552

Drill a new hole for a new screw instead

Prefer not to change the lock's position

No, it can stay as it is. Just drill a new hole.

Take a drill that is 0.5 larger than the hole in the fitting, drill so that the top of the screw is even and gets a slight countersink from the larger drill.
Now you can drill it out with a drill that is the same as the screw.
Then insert glue and hammer in a piece that you have carved, cut off the peg and screw in a new screw.

You mean drill into the lock itself for a new screw? I hadn't thought of that. Smart. Thanks!

Take a drill that is 0.5 larger than the hole in the fitting, drill so that the top of the screw becomes even and gets a small countersink from the large drill.
Now you can drill it out with a drill that is the same as the screw.
Then apply glue and hammer in a piece that you have carved, cut off the pin and screw back a new screw.

That's another way to do it! Thanks!
