I've had the exact same thing happen with traditional screw extractors, which is why I went with the Torx bit hack. If it had failed, I could still try a traditional extractor.
The problem with the traditional extractor is precisely what happened to you. Now that it's snapped off, you're cooked. No second chance because the pin is now completely mangled.
The extractors on the bottom look great... never seen those before. Same basic idea...
