That's grim. Unlucky.
Can the manufacturer help? Either the sight manufacturer (was the screw faulty? Do they owe you a repaired riser?) or the riser people (its not thier problem really, but good customer relations might suggest they help out).
Racking my brains beyond passing the buck... a screw extractor would've been my first stoptoo, I'f I'd had one.
Unfortunately, it probably precludes my second suggestion, which would've been to try supergluing the broken screw back together (without gluing it into the thread!) and gently turning it: would only work if the break were at an angle, I guess.
Reaching wildly, you might try gentle heating. Depending on materials, the socket might expand more than the screw, and thus be more removable if you find some way to grip it (superglue again).
Last resort might be archaeological dremelling, hoping to get the screw to crumble out of the thread as you drill away its core. I guess this is the equivalent of going all out and redrilling and retapping the hole in a workshop.
DISCLAIMER: All of the above will probably destroy your bow, raise mortgage rates, and make Prescott Prime minister. Don't try unless you've already abandoned all hope.
