There might be enough left to get the tip of a vise-grip on it.
Maybe leave a piece of tissue soaked with penetrating oil over the end overnight before the vise-grip. Maybe heat it with the tip of a soldering iron.
If that fails, Dremel it flat, center punch it and drill it. Then pick out the screw remnants.
At least it's easy to get to.

Use a thin cut off wheel on a dremel to cut a slot in the end of the stub.
Soak it in penetrating oil.
Tap it gently with a hammer.
Use a straight blade screwdriver to turn it out - that's what the slot in the end is for, but cut it before soaking it in (flammable) penetrating oil.

Does anyone use their door **** lock? Mine does not turn by hand. I press the red button on my '89. I tried using the ***** but they don't turn by hand. Sometimes when I lock my car I get stuck in it for a couple of minutes and I have to press the red button a 1,000 times so I can get out of my car. I usually only lock the door when I am in bad areas like the front of walmart.

Kroil and PB Blaster both work very well - however they both stink really really badly... and for a very long time... so I'd not use them on the interior.
To me it looks like that should be pretty easy to get out - there seems to be plenty of thread protruding to grab with pliers... I'd start there
