I would try an extractor first. Get a good one from like snap on, I’d do that b4 drilling my head.

I just drilled out a snapped off bolt from a block. Start out small, like at least half the size of the bolt. Use LOTS of WD-40 when you’re drilling. Go slow, with a good amount of pressure, half drill speed. Step up a little bigger until the proper bit size and then re-tap the hole. Good luck and drill straight!

If you can avoid wd, it just burns instantly.

Use some good cutting or drilling fluid if you have any, but dont get that shit in cuts either, I still dont trust the new “SAFE” cutting fluid.
