Probably written about before, but I have two upper window garnish wood screws maybe #8 or #10 broken off in the only spot I can put the metal vertical chrome garnish on. These screws look broken off flush with the really hard oak a long time ago.

Do I try to drill a hole in the middle of the metal screw and try to tap, or do I give up and drill around big broken screw hole and then epoxy wood filler and start over?

Thanks for advice from personal experience. LOL.
