but then so are lot of other engines, small blocks for example, often still ran fine despite horrendous wounds.
Still, it's quite surprising to see such firsthand.
Screw extractors are the work of the devil.. especially so the cheap junk variety sold to diy'rs.
When they snap off (fairly common) then there is a whole new world of hurt to be explored. Best to avoid that scenario at all costs.
IF.. at all possible? weld a nut onto the offending screw (stub??) then gently unscrew it.
