Yes, it probably sounds absurd to most, but.... don't break it off in the first place is the desired goal.
Unfortunately, it seems to require having broken some things to have a feel for it later.
If you want a real problem, imagine having someone break a tap off in a blind hole in a cylinder block. And, yes, I know they make tap extractors, but step into the story after they broke a tap extractor off in the attempted repair.
hahahahahahahahaha.......
