Mark,
I haven’t had to deal with one that was actually twisted off in the seat yet. If I did, I’d probably try heat first. Aluminum casting alloys have a somewhat higher rate of thermal expansion than brass. The carburetor body will get larger per degree of temperature than the brass needle point. With a few heat cycles and some tapping and maybe a penetrant, it should be able to be gently worked out of there. Heat gun, maybe hot water ton heat the carb body up without damaging anything?

Someone else may chime in with a proven technique. I’m just letting you know what my gut tells me I’d do.
