Default wall anchors in sheetrock on metal studs

I have to mount a heavy wooden plaque on a sheetrock wall with metal studs
underneath. The holes in the plaque are predrilled, so the wall anchors have
to go where they have to go. What if I drill into a metal stud? If it were a
wooden stud, a wood screw would go in place of an anchor, and it would be no
problem. So what do I do if I hit metal? With the right kind of fastener,
maybe I should Try to hit the metal for extra strength? Thx.
