1. Use a smaller-diameter carbide masonery bit to drill a pilot hole in
the
extractor.

Have you ever tried to drill hardened steel with a masonery bit?

Have you ever tried to do this freehand on a char handle?


2. Use a sheetmetal screw to unscrew the extractor.

If you have deilled a hole in a piece of hardened steel were you ever
sucessfull in using a sheet metal screw to grab in a hole drilled into a
chunk of hardened steel?

3. Use a new extractor to remove the bolt.

How may extractors are you going to sacrifice before you go to plan "B"?
