Installing Set Screw Allen wrench broke...

I was all happy with myself putting on a set of Tru-Glo night sights for a good friend's G26, had it all done, put some Loctite on the set screw, started to tighten with a 1/16" allen wrench (none was supplied, so I used my ole' trusty one)... and SNAP! The tip broke off and is stuck in the set screw!!!

I've used this same allen wrench a lot, it came with my 1911 (for overtravel adjustment), I've used it on my ambi safety for my AR, set screw on my personal G19, guess it decided to bite the big one...

My friend understands, I'm mad at myself though. He was sorry my tool broke. I don't care about the tool, I want his sights to be perfect. I just need to get it out now... Any ideas? Hate to drill it...
