HELP!! Broken Valve Adjustment Screw!

While adjusting my 2005 honda civic exhaust valve screws, I used a cheep torque wrench and sheared the nut right off with part of the bolt in it. Please help me know what i need to do. The remaining screw head actually still moves pretty freely using my finger but will only back out to a point and then sticks. I tried backing out a good screw next to it and it sticks at the same point. Is there any way to back these directly out or do they need to be back out the other direction (towards the coils)?

At a loss of what to do here. I can’t afford to be without this car or replace it right now.

Anyone know what part number it is that I need to order assuming it can be fixed without tearing the engine apart?

Re: HELP!! Broken Valve Adjustment Screw!

Grab another rocker assembly from a junkyard, i would just swap the whole thing over to keep it simple. You could disassemble and swap that arm. Or potentially once you have your rocker assembly off, you can run out that screw and put one in feom the junkyard assembly
