Thank you everyone who gave me some suggestions. I am going to go ride my
bike to the hardware (in the rain!) to get a left hand drill bit. Also I
will probably get some EZ out. Thanks so much for all the help. I am
going to take my time and try my best. Wish me luck! I will let you
know how I made out when I am done! Thanks.
Mike

Mike the same thing happened to me just two weeks ago.
so I know how you feel! ;-( I tried the reverse drill bit ,
easy out and a few others but ended up drilling it out
and retapping one size bigger.
I hope you can get it out!
