Tubes don't have handles.
Personally, knock it into the pan and put another tube in.

Is it the dipstick or the tube? If it's the tube and it turns, a tap probably won't work. How about a small 90 degree pick.

What GTX6070 said. I just did one a couple of weeks ago on a 318, I barely tapped the tap in with a hammer and pulled it out with vise grips, worked like a charm!

360? Stock pan? Don't they have a dipstick guide welded in the the pan? Knock the thing down in and you probably won't get the stick to go in.
If it turns, a tap will go in so far before it starts to turn the stub. At that point, turn and pull at the same time. It may come out. Otherwise drop the pan.
If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.

Tubes ? .. he’s talking about the STICK ..not the tube I’ve had to do this same operation on a 3.8 V6 .... Just pull the tube out of the block and then push the broken stick out !
