Using a left-handed drill isn't guaranteed to screw it out. You'll just drill a hole. I think drilling it and using an extractor will be better.

"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

The penetrating oil and accurately center punching is essential.
Almost every time the left hand drill method has been successful for me (most times if done correctly) it has come out easily and if it didn't work, the ez-out method didn't work either.
