Ugh! I had the same thing happen to me. What I did was get a wide bladed flat tipped screwdriver and place it sideways into the remains of the cap that is stuck into the valve cover, there are notches in there that the top of the cap used to grip. You set the tip of the screwdriver into one of these notches and push down with some force to make the shaft of the screwdriver make solid contact with the top of the oil cap, then turn counter clockwise with the handle.
if you have difficulty with that insert a second screwdriver above the shaft of the first ( like a T ) and push against the second screwdriver.
All you are doing is giving yourself some leverage, then go get a new oil cap.
