Fast. many times when a bolt is torqued it stretches and then seizes into the hole. Try drilling 2/3 to 3/4 the bolt size all the way through. This sometimes releases the stress. Heat a little around the bolt and back out.
I just did all 6 on my truck and tapped them to original 3/8 x 16 no problem.
