Default oil pressure sensor broken

My oil pressure would go down to 0 after my engine would get warmed up. I thought it might be the sensor. I bought a sensor and the special sensor tool. I can get a ratchet on it but it won't budge, mainly because there is no room to move it. I did manage to snap it off, so only the head and the threaded part are still in there. Can I drive it like that? and does anyone have a suggestion on how to get it out?

I got it out by pulling the distributor. I still never found the rest of my sensor
