How can I remove the stub of a pencil zinc from its bronze anode
holder?

The pencil zinc screws into the anode holder. But the loss of zinc
from the anode means that I cannot get a mechanical grip on it to
unscrew it.

Cheers and thanks for ideas

Melt it out?
Zinc -419.53 °C, 787.15 °F, Bronze 950 degrees C
