Before you drive it - where is the dipstick broken off?
If it's at the top just below the plastic ring. then you can possible get to it with needle nose pliers or a strong magnet. But if its broken off 5 or 6 inches from the bottom, it could be floating about at the bottom of the sump !!
If thats the case, I think you will have to remove the sump plate as per BYprodriver suggests....
