Do you have access to one of these?

If so you can simply drill away at the remains of the peg until it's destroyed enough to carefully scrape the remains out of the hole.
 
have not tired, i usually dig the damn thing out but... have read you can boil and then insert a pin into the broken peg then let cool and when it does hopefully you can grab that pin and pull it and broken peg out. kinda puts handle on end of broken peg etc
 
Put a bowl of water in the microwave for a few minutes. Take out. Put the hand in the water. Let it sit for a few minutes. Take a knife and get it out.
