Tips on Removing Ignition Switch

I'm trying to replace the electric portion of the ignition switch and clean out the lock cylinder so key can be inserted with no drama. The car is an '87 coupe. However, I'm having a ***** of a time removing the breakoff bolts holding the switch to the dash. I'm using a drill and Dremel to drill a slot to insert a flat head screw driver, but it takes a long time to make progress given the hardness of the breakoff bolts. Even cobalt drill tips make slow grinding progress. Have any tips on getting these bolts off faster?
