Rich,
I like your idea along with the presurized case. I'm sure a skilled machine shop could modify a drill bit and tap to work with an extension.
The bore of the stud hole in the cylinder, head etc. may actually work very well as a drill guide. I know they make some long extensions for cordless drills with hex heads (For drywall bits) They are now making drill bits that fit into these extensions. (See Dewalt.com) I haven't seen one this large, but see no reason it's not possible. Taps could also be machined to fit the hex extensions. I think one limititation would be if the skirt on the cylinder barrel partially covers the larger hole needed for the insert. If so, game over!
Good luck and I hope for all of us that it works!
