Answer 1

if part of it is sticking out use pliers to get a hold of it and unscrew... if not I would take it to a professional.

Answer 2

It's not as bad as it sounds even if the protector is inside the joint.

Find a mechanic and he/she can use an easy out to extract the broken part without damaging your cue. I wouldn't think anyone would charge you more than $10 to $20. I hope that helps.
