Underground irrigation system has a riser that snapped off.  The main plumbing 
in the ground is a 1/2" PVC tee with female threads.  A PVC pipe with male 
threads fit in.  The riser broke clean at the top of the tee fitting.  What is 
the best way to get the riser threads out of the tee?  Nothing above to grip 
into.  I guess I could drill it out but am afraid of hurting the tee threads.  
Is there some trick I don't know?  

Thanks!
