Why drill them out? If they are big enough cut them down to the next smaller size hex using a dremel. I've always found drilling to be a last resort...you screw up you're drilling into the threads.

yea i thought about that but the area is to small to fit in a vise grip... maybe if i had the needle nosed ones that might work.
