yes I've been in that situation. I've broken a few. I sell them for a reasonable price here:

The guy who wrote this guide only broke one temp sensor out of a 100 replacements. He also mentions the awl. he's more patient than I am. I was able to get a particularly difficult one out with a needle - getting it out just far enough to grab with the pliers. I have also drilled it out from the other end - you can feel a tiny tiny movement when you break through. It is subtle but also kind of obvious. Trust your feeling and don't drill any extra. Push out with paper clip.
Oh. The guide - just read about how to get the sensor out:

I did read long ago on the olsson post that you could 'drill' it... Depends, what's cheaper, a new old block, or a new sensor...
By drill, I mean to drill on the oposite side, carefully, so you can push the sensor from the other side to take it out. Also I think I readed someone using WD40?
