Broken banana plug and stuck in amplifier

Hi, seek your advise how to remove the broken banana plug which is half-broken when i pulled out the plug, it's rather hard to clamp as it leaves a little metal.

The binding post of amplifier (E280) is unable to unscrew fully and to be removed,  

Appreciate if you have similar experience and how to remove the remaining banana plug out from amplifier .

@jtcf has the answer. I have a set of dental tools in my tool box. I have used them multiple times with great success. I found mine at harbor freight a few years ago.

The rat tail file will do the job for sure.

Unplug it before you do anything.

I have a couple of different sets of dental tools that I use for such things. Several of the tools have different size and angled points to get into small spots. You can get a cheap set at Harbor freight to start with.

All the best.
