This tool kit has been amazing for me in 3D printing. I use the tweezers and especially the metal separator spatulas: those are perfect for getting out tricky supports. As a bonus the driver kit has every bizarre size bit you'll even need for repairing your printer (time and again.)

I also like to use soldering picks.
You'll need a solder pump and a reamer to get the broken pin out. Put the board in a vise/third-hand tool or whatever. You need to be able to work on both sides of it. Apply your soldering iron to one side and have the solder pump on the other. When the solder is melted you fire the pump and it will suck the solder and hopefully the pin out. You can use the reamer to make the hole a little bigger and get some tinned wire in there.

The reamer is the second one from the left. I'm pretty sure RadioShack sells both.
