LOL 
I thought I was the only one...
::Turn, Turn, Turn, *SNAP*::
It was a good thing it was on my to-be-junked D15.
I heard it's fairly common for them lil suckers to snap, but nothing a trip to your local Honda dealer can't help.

Trust me, I just finished building my motor myself.. everything is torqued to exact specs.
It's my first day.

some asshole told me the torque settings in inch/lbs and i misunderstood and went for foot lbs, something like 60 ft lbs or some ****.
anyway, of course it snapped.
heres what i did:
i had a smallish screwdriver, and when a screw breaks it almost always leaves a little knock on top, it's not usually going to break evenly, its more likley going to break along a thread. I took a hammer and the screwdriver and slowly pounded the screwdriver out by tapping the screwdriver against the knock. I think the whole ordeal took me about five minutes, i stood longer at Honda waiting for them to find me the damn bolt.
