If you're going to remove the dipstick tube why not try and make an adapter to use air or water pressure to force the broken stick out?

Like, Put a basketball needle in a bike pump, and put a hose over the fat part of the needle and the other end over the end of the dipstick tube, and blow it on out. A bit of fuel line would be a perfect bridge for that purpose.

Same with a garden hose, I've been known to clear seemingly intractable clogs in bagless vacuum cleaner hoses by poking a garden hose in one end and cranking it wide open. One of those little super basic nozzles like this would be great for attaching a hose to the dipstick tube using a bit of fuel or vacuum line or something

Odd question but thought I'd ask here, can someone point me to the DIY section on random appliance repairs?

Meet the Sci.Electronics.Repair FAQ, a glorious old school text infodump

http://www.repairfaq.org/REPAIR/F_Repair.html

Read the particulars in the safety section first, of course.

The oil filter on a mid 90s Corolla with the 4A-FE engine is a real pain in the dick.

In the video, guy has to smack the filter wrench in place because it won't fit between the filter and the exhaust.

I changed the oil in my Grandma's 96 and I couldn't get my hands on the drat thing and it took me ages just because of that. There's not enough space to do poo poo.

Hearing this come out of a car would be hilarious and awesome.
