The retaining screw is more of a convenience item to keep the rotor from flopping around when you have the wheel off. When the lugs are tightened in place, the wheel is what actually holds it in place against the hub.

If the screw is broken off down in the hub, I don't think I'd waste my time drilling it out. It won't affect brake performance.
