There are screw removal tool kits available that could assist you. Be very cautious about the placement of the broken standoff, and remember there are no assurances these extractors will function. I purchased a set for a stripped laptop screw, but it didn’t work. Some people have had positive results with the extractor pieces. The only certainty is what might occur next.
If the screw isn't too snug, try this simple trick. Use a toothpick with the flat side, apply a small amount of super glue, and place it onto the broken screw. Keep it there until it dries, about half an hour or more. Once dry, use the toothpick to turn it. Before that, inspect the bottom—there could be a chance you can pull it out and keep going until it emerges from the base.
I'm planning to give it another shot tomorrow. I just used some hot glue and it popped up while in use. I think I recall something feeling really stiff about an inch or two behind the mb—it's super tough to hold onto.
You really have no room for error. The screw fits exactly into the slot, so this might be your only choice.
If that silver section is the real threaded part on the board, you might use a tiny drill bit and a pin vise to secure the bolt before removing it.
