It's sometimes difficult to get things drilled on centre. What I often do is to drill it, sneak up in drill size so that you are just touching the threads on one side of the hole, then I use a dremel or die grinder to grind out the rest of the bolt to the threads. If you can remove the body of the bolt, it makes it a lot easier, and then I retap the hole. This does take a good tap (not these 4 fluted jobs), and a lot of patience. It also requires some skill and feel for it. Find a good machinist or toolmaker that can come over and ask them if they can try it for you. I know I get to drill out and replace a lot of dust sheild bolts on highway trailers for a friend of mine.
