Glad you got it done, PA. I was hanging bathroom paraphernalia on these slick little self-drilling drywall anchors today and I thought about your predicament.

Killed it, with some much-appreciated help from Gburg. I realized that the head sheared off the screw because the crappy hex tool Amazon sent was putting a shear force on the bolt. So after grabbing the bolt with pliers and hanging on to it for a while, I then out the amazon hex tool on the bolt, bent it sideways, and it snapped off inside the wall! No more jagged metal jutting out of my wall! :woop:

Gburg :cheers: I was very close to offering you a 20 or a 6-pack to come help me :lol:
