Failing that ul have to drill it out!

woulndt think drilling it out would help, bits of metal in the waterways and all then it would need a helicoil. you can get stud extractors cheap enough

you could try drilling a small hole into it, and then screwing a self tapping screw into it and once its screwed in tight try and undo it and see if the remaining part of the sender comes out.  A bit 'John Wayne' but its worked for me before.

or if it's stuck out enough get your spurs on and your cowboy hat take a junior hacksaw and make a slot in the end use a  flat head screwdriver and unscrew simple, worked on my alternator bolt yesterday!!!!!!!!!
