Is there a way to remove a broken chamber reamer and not ruin the barrel?

How much of the chamber was reamed hopefully not enough to tap it back out and it will clean up with a new reamer. Probably worse case would be the need to set the barrel back and then to re-ream.

I'm not sure how much of the reamer is in the chamber.  I'm not doing the job.  I'm asking for another.  I am not a smith nor do have any equipment or such skill.

After braking a couple reamers I found out the type of cutting oil is important. I have about 100 reamers and sometimes thing can happen.......
