I was putting back the eye cover onto my g6r today when snap the screw snapped off inside the thread. I'm trying to get ahold of blast, do you guys think that they can resolve this?

If there's enough sticking out you could probably grab it with a pair of pliers and attempt to twist it out. I would think that'd be the simplest approach.

I've tried it, it's stuck in there. I don't wanna damage in frame threads

If I can see the picture correctly, the screw isn't fully inside the body. If you're careful, you can use a dremel cutting wheel to make a slot in the top and use a flathead screwdriver to remove it.

Be careful to not mar up the body. I'd cover it with a rag if there's room for it not to catch.

Also, vice grips would work much better than a set of pliers.

if your feel its past the point of hand tools i recommend a professional with machines.

The screw is probably cross threaded as that's the only reason it would get stuck unless there's locktite on it. I would definitely seek professional help with that as you would probably need to run a tap through to try and straighten the threads. Good luck

Exact same thing just happened to my insight and I'm trying to figure out how to remove it without having to send it in >.<

Depending on whether or not the screw snapped off at a point outside the threading, you may be able to cut a notch into the screw and remove it as if it was a flat head screw. If it's broken off inside the threads, you would likely need to use a screw extractor kit. Best idea would to seek professional help.

Dremel a slit in the top and use a flat headed screwdriver to remove it.

This would work fine. But as said above it depends on how much is sticking out of the threaded part of the eye. You may be able to grab it with pliers or if enough is out you can also cut a slit in the top as suggested above.
