In wetter parts of the world wheels rust onto discs and then you're in a pickle if the retaining screw isn't used. Hammering a wheel off a wriggling disc can knacker a caliper.

I'd drill the snapped off screw out and re-tap if necessary.

A thin thin thin smidge of copper ease on the mating surfaces between the wheel and the disc ain't a bad thing either
