Tomato stake.  Cowpie flipper.  Bird feeder perch.  Beer straw.  BB storage.  Carbon arrows are very versatile.  And indestructible.     :)

If you put it in with hot melt you can carefully heat it with a hair dryer and it will loosen the glue use a needle nose pliers to remove it. The same method I use to remove bear greenies without ruining the paint.

The drill bit used as an impact driver will work. Nothing I've seen can overcome it.

Or is there not enough thread to get a turn or two into the insert? Could you find a screw the right size to self-tap into the opening of the insert?
