Here are two ways you can try to get a slug moving again using a metal
allen key. Try and get a few turns of aluminum foil wrapped around it
before putting it in the slug - see if it gets snug enough as to not
turn inside the slug & break it. I believe the slugs break from
the Allen Key turning inside the slug kinda forcing to to
expand as it skips.... Or you can just epoxy it into the
slug and take it out & insert a new one - Put some
chapstick on it before you put it back. Wax makes
a great dry lubricant.

You have to be careful with epoxy in the slug - make sure
none gets anywhere along the threads.....
