Replacing a broken screw is not difficult, but you need the right tools. If it is stripped, you can drill it out. To do this, you'll need a drill bit made of a harder material than the screw, so if it's steel, use titanium coated bits.

Dill a hole into the original screw, and get a smaller screw. Screw smaller screw into the bigger screw, then remove the smaller screw. Put super glue into bigger screw, then screw smaller screw into bigger screw. Let dry, then unscrew big screw using newly attached small screw.

To be honest, you would be better off going to get a whole new screw. Its not worth it to be honest with you, and besides screws are cheap anyways.
