I would go for the extraction
I went through the same dilemma a few months back. I can only speak for my own experience, so I'm sure some are different. I did have the apico, mainly because this was a tooth more towards the front. I had continued pain after the apico and ended up having the tooth pulled about two months later. My oral surgeon said apico's have a 50/50 chance of success. That's not very good odds. Generally an apico is the final thing they can try prior to extraction. I wish I did not have the apico, and just had the tooth extracted, I would have saved a lot of pain and money. You may want to get another opinion. Also, I believe having an apico can be detrimental if you want to eventually get an implant. My personal suggestion is no, not worth it.
