Haymeadow, The "easyout" is made of tool steel, and may be anealed by using heat, then try drilling. If that doesnt work, try to find a carbide round nose grinding tool and grind out the "easyout". It takes patience, and do not apply a lot of pressure. Let the tool do the work. The last thing you want is to break a piece of carbide along with the tool steel, however, the redeeming grace is that carbide is brittle enough to shatter if smacked. Having worked in a machine shop, there were times that the only option to getting a broken drill or bolt out of a piece was to scrap the piece, which was really not an option. I"d say that 1/4 in carbide should work. Another thing to consider is keep everything from work hardening by not letting it get too hot while drilling or grinding. Good luck
