I do something similar, at least using a lag screw. My cheap slide hammer k=
it has a lag screw attachment, so I drill a hole for the screw and use the =
slide hammer to pop it out.=20

Not sure if a satisfactory solution has been found but I have found that th=
e easiest way is to drill a hole in the middle then thread a long hardened =
lag screw through that hole.=20
The end of the screw will eventually hit something and then the core plug w=
ill pop out of its seat.=20
