Fortunately there was enough left sticking out to remove the broken piece.

Yes Ade, a valid point. However, that is why I suggested having a dummy run on a piece of scrap if in doubt, in order to determine the correct size drill. a little lubrication helps too. I fitted 2 mirrors with no problem.  Maybe you had a duff screw.
