Fixed. Spent money on two high quality left hand drill bits. Used the 1/4" through a sleeve for the first pass then a 5/16" for the second pass. Barely got the largest one in before the bolt broke free. Stuck an easy out in it and twisted it out with my fingers.
Best $20 I've spent in a long time.
Now I can get ready to go racing assuming spring ever arrives. 15" of snow on ground and above freezing days look rare for a while.

I suspect it's bottomed out. I've tried a left hand drill bit and a Craftsman Drill-Out and I am not removing any metal. I'd sure like to not have to pull the head to remove it.
I'm no drill bit guru but the bits seem to be sharp.
Any suggestions or help anyone can offer? Is it more than drill straight in to get the hole started or what?
