Interestingly, I got a set of cheapo easyouts that are
relatively soft steel.
They still are useful for removing studs, but when they
snap off, I can drill them out with cheapo high speed steel
drillbits. They might snap a little easier than true
easyouts, but still give a pretty good try.
Had to do this today actually. Sigh.
