My brother once snapped off an easyout in the head of a 350. I picked u a 90 degree high speed pneumatic die grinder. Also got a few pointy carbide burs.
I believe I ruined 3 burs, but finally got a hole dug into the easyout/stud.
The bur "bounced" against the hole a few times and buggered up the threads. It was 3/8 UNC, we ended up drilling slightly larger, and rethreaded 7/16 UNC once we got the stud out.
