Broken spark plug
One of my plugs got stuck in the socket (just the threading) and not sure how to get it out.

One of my plugs got stuck in the socket (just the threading) and not sure how to get it out.
First time changing spark plugs on my 2021 Mazda 6 Carbon Edition. The first 3 plugs torque in correctly without issue. The 4th one i tried torquing in and wouldn't tighten until a click. I dont know if I was screwing it in incorrectly but I kept going. I stopped and loosened it and pulled it back out to see what the issue was. I pulled it out to find the threading was pulled off and is now stuck in the socket. Here are photos above. Not sure where to go from here.
Ideally would prefer something with slightly lower mileage, but I figured 28k is still fairly low and these don't usually come this cheap. Clean title, too. Good buy, or keep looking?
