am i screwed..

pun intended.

99 ws6 ls1 motor. i replaced the water pump today and took off the throttle body for a little extra room.

after the water pump install i was installing the screws that connect the throttle body to the intake. and i could have sworn it went in right, not cross threaded. im not the smartest guy but i know when a screw is cross threaded. so im torquing it down and it gets loose...and this all of a sudden pops out. the screw literally snapped in half.

after it was all put together it started up right and idled fine. i havent had the chance to drive it yet.

what are my options at this point to get this screw out in case i ever needed to remove the throttle body? and whatll it cost?

in this picture this should be extended another 2 inches or so if werent snapped.
