you could try just drilling a slight hole/groove try and get some kind of tool to unscrew it make sure you start the car first get it warm you wont harm the car running on 3 cylinders

They make kits for this special problem at your local part store ......you will need to drill out center of plug and pull out with a easy out and retap thread holes
if you don`t have a blower ..you`ll need to get a small magnet and try to get as much out of the cylinder as possable .......make it so car won`t crank and turn engine over and it`ll blow out the rest of trash in cylinder ........

if your plug has broken up your safest course of action would be to remove the head to clear out any debris from the cylinder. while the head is off any good engineering shop should be able to remove the broken plug ...not what you want to hear i know but its cheaper than destroying the engine
