What about a long punch/chisel, at an angle; then pry it out?

Or, making an extra-short bit to go in the angle drive?  For just one
shallow hole, you could grind a broken drill shank into a spade bit fairly
easily I think.  No need for flutes or a fancy cutting tip; just grind in
from the sides to create a flat end, then put a couple of cutting lips on
it.  Kind of like this

except I was thinking more like 1/8" or so.

You can also buy stubby bits to go in one of these:
