easy out drill bit?
Not sure what that is, an easy out is a tapered left hand flute device, not a drill bit.
Some people use a left hand thread drill bit as an easy out like device though it isn't one and doesn't always work.
Try a real easy out. If you have some small square stock you can grind a taper on it and use it as a removal tool in a pinch. Sometimes you can use a torx screwdriver as a removal tool.
They say there are no such thing as a stupid question. They say there is always the exception that proves the rule. Don't be the exception.

If you have a welder you can weld the end of an allen wrench or something similar to it & back it out. i sorta did this on a garden tractor starter bolt that snapped off. JB Weld to another bolt and 2 days of waiting...

I think he was referring to one of those drill bits that you drill it CCW with a reverseing drill & they work occaisionally on softer material but I'd say the odds ain't good here. As said I'd just drill it out (normally) & corral the shavings (greaseing the bit helps)

As said I'd just drill it out (normally) & corral the shavings (greaseing the bit helps) do a google search ( picture of easy out tool ) I did this with the same problem. I used an 1/8" drill bit - drilling to the bottom - apx 1 1/4" max. then I used an 3/16" -1/4" drill bit same thing. using the easy out tool after torching to warm it up, brought it right out. -

I have done that same thing in the past and that is the worse possible outcome.
My first duty station in the Navy was overhauling various antennas. I learned the hard way about broken bolts, extractors and corrosion.
They make an extractor remover, never tried one though. I usually used a punch to fracture the broken extractor, cause you ain't drilling it out. I understand that some machine shops can burn it out with a fancy machine, never used that either. But it'll cost at least a head gasket as well.
I never tried heating the broken extractor up red hot and hitting it with a freeze spray, but some have had success.
They say there are no such thing as a stupid question. They say there is always the exception that proves the rule. Don't be the exception.
