The other day my 2 year old son tore off our faucet handle (single-handle) in our shower. I took apart as much as I could and found out that the screw from the handle had broke in 2 leaving some of it lodged in the piece sticking out (cartridge?). I looked online and in some books that recommended removing retaining ring or bonnet nut, before I can remove the cartridge. However I don't see any of that. This is what I am looking at, sorry a little blurry.

The white thing with the caution sticker in back is some sort of plastic protector. It is warning about soldering and heat.
My plan was to replace the piece that had the screw broken off in it. However I am stumped on how to get this piece out. Any ideas? Or other ways I could fix this? I guess I could try and drill the screw out? I haven't done that before though and didn't want to make the situation worse. Seems like a shame to call a plumber to fix a broken handle?
