how do i fix a broken lower shift cable at gimbell

[carverjesse]

I was replacing the bellows and such today and when i tried to remove the lower shift cable from the gimbal, I broke off the head. It is the brass part that threads into the gimbal. I used plenty of heat and i still boke it off. I have tried pb blaster and heating it up even more and an easy out; no luck. suggestions are greatly appreciated.
