Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
New paperweight or can it be salvaged?
My buddy tried to build his first lower, fitment was snug so he figured he would drill it out. Well the bit broke and he jacked it up trying to get the stuck bit out. Can it be fixed?
$50 mistake. Write it off and start over, as it will probably be a lot more expensive to fix than replace.

Discussion is an exchange of intelligence. Argument is an exchange of
ignorance. Ever found a liberal that you can have a discussion with?
Post that in the Funny Pictures thread.
What TFOGGER said.
Fighting that bit back out is going to suck...
Tfog is right, lowers are cheap.
Gun buyback fodder!
It can be be fixed

Is bit showing in the push pin hole? If so you may be able to pinch with needle nose and back it out. Assuming you get it out, you could clean up mistake and thread for a plug, then shorten your spring a few coils and insert with plug screwed in. This would also serve to keep detent and spring in place when removing stock. Now a feature and no one knows.
Bert may also have some ideas for you.

Use the pins that Thudersquirrel has pictured above.
