Yes i meant screw sorry for the typo.
I can't see how any type of screw will help to extract a broken off
tip of a stereo audio jack?
I'd disassemble and press the tip out backwards from the inside.
Other possible solutions are:
Bend tip on safety pin, insert, twist, and pull out backwards.
Carefully use glue to remove. Perhaps superglue on a wooden toothpick,
or thick JB Quick Weld on the broken remainder of the male jack.
Moisture or water makes superglue dry, so you can blow your breath to
get a droplet to dry fast, or use another toothpick with water on the
tip. It may not hold, and is a little risky if you screw up. I've
actually used this glue method with the broken power tip of an iBook,
but the power tip had a tiny residual collar of plastic to hold the
glue droplet, and the audio jack will likely be missing any similar
indentation.
