2003 pathfinder 4 wheel drive Without traction control ,I broke off my drivers side front ABS sensor , is there any way to get it out Without Dropping the front Metal pick up still attached inside the sensor not to drop down into the tone ring hole, so far I thought of heating it , drilling it , prying it or driving a long wood screw in it and pulling on it , is there a better easier way open for suggestions , I did not try anything I thought of above yet .thanks if you have any Ideas

Don't heat it; all you'll get is a gob of plastic melted down on the tone ring.
Your other ideas may work; but if you damage the tone ring you'll need to replace it.
If it's seized in there that bad I would pull the hub assembly and then you could drive the remaining portion of the sensor out and not cause any possible damage.
