Well, that changes everything.

How about sticking a rod down the 'black hole' and see how much of the screw is actually left? If that is the bottom of the screw, then you would only have to drill out about 3/16" of the screw x base diameter of the thread to break it loose and drive it out. Then you can separate the wood and pick out the pieces of thread and clean up the tapped hole.

It's actually gotten easier.
