My hands (especially the left) aren't that steady either. Not the worst (it is intentional tremor), and I am able to solder down to 0402 SMT sizes down, but requires some ... strategic hands positioning. I would be able to do this without much problem.
The trick is:
1. Take the broken piece, don't dip into the glue/epoxy, but just touch it. This will make sure most (or all) glue is at the tip and not around.
2. Remember: the actual well is made for thatr hexagon and is wider than the stick that broke, so you have space.
3. Insert the stick (possibly let it drop into the well), make sure it touched down, and leave it be for whatever time it takes for the glue to cure.
4. Simply pull. If there is little resistance (cannot be much) - overpower it gently.
You got nothing to lose.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
