Todd is exactly on target. I would add only that a carbide drill would
be the next step. If you can get one, keep in mind that the carbide
will be in the Rc 90 range and will fracture even more easily that the
easy out did. You must be very gentile and avoid any interrupted cut.
The full diameter of the drill should be in the metal. In a pinch, a
carbide tipped masonry bit might do the job.
