you could thread a tap in (grease it to catch chips & dont go all the way "thru"). to avoid the chips a person might grind a right angle leg at the end of a bolt & go in & hook it on the end of the broken dipstick & slide hammer it back out. EDIT If you tap it you might first pack some grease down to the very end of the broken piece as a barrier to keep shavings from falling down into the pan

As scary as it may sound you can get a long skinny screwdriver and push the broken part into the pan. I'll fall to the bottom and be waiting for the day you pull the pan. Zero chance of it getting lifted into the spinning bits unless you flip the engine upside down.
