I repaired my broken stylus.
Drilled a plastic part with 1,5mm bit using had tool - be careful not setting too high rotational speed as the shitty polystyrene it is made from melts easily.
Unscrewed broken threaded part from the aluminium part of the stylus.
Cut a part of paper clip, made a couple of tiny curves on it.
Prepared a drop of epoxy glue (with addition of flour - to make it less 'liquid') and assembled everything in one part.

Looks almost like new except for the tip which melted partially bacause I was not aware of rotational speed, but it ain't seen when a stylus is in it's place. Keeps a bit more tight in it's place.
