I would get about 3 cobalt bits, a punch and a torch (MAPP gas would be safest to start). Get the punch mark DEAD center. Start with small bit and go in a very small amount. Check that your hole is centered and angle over slightly if not. Once center is assured keep drilling upping size of bits until almost stud size is reached. You will need a third eye during all this to make sure drill is level on up/down plane. Now that your hole is perfect use the torch to heat case outside of stud melting Loctite. Stick the largest easy out that fits in hole and tap in with hammer. I'd actually try left handed drill bit during last drilling size but assuming you don't have them. Don't use a ton of force turning easy out or it will break. Should start turning easy if it's going to come out at all.

It is also essential to have a large amount of wherewithal on hand....

I do not disbelieve in anything. I start from the premise that everything is true until proved false. Everything is possible.
