You need to use a center punch when drilling out screws. And sometimes you need to start with a smaller bit and then go back with a larger bit.


If the head broke, I'd try a pair of needled-nosed vise gripes.

Or grabits.

•Two-step drill bit and extractor in one tool. Multiple tools not
required.

•Self centering drill tip; no walking or wandering. No grinding,
center punching required.
