I had the same issue, and I used a 1/2 steel brush in my Dremel tool to wear the PVC down and claen the glue off.

If I wanted to get the broken off piece out I would have heated the copper female adapter up a bit while using an extractor all at the same time.

At a glance it looks like sch 80 pvc threads broken off. Plastic male adapters can be over-tightened. The puddling of solvent can also cause them to fail.
