Since the hole drilled into the bolt is alreay drilled off center and therefore EZ Outs don't work and I can't proceed to drill anymore, what do yall think about filling the hole with an epoxy and trying the drilling again? I realize that the bond would have to be pretty strong between the epoxy and the bolt for the drilling to work, but isn't it still worth a shot?

Sorry, won't work. The epoxy is softer than the bolt so your drill bit will follow the original hole. Also you won't be able to see if you're drilling into the head. Best to wait and pay someone to do it. That way if they damage the head they have to fix\replace it.

If there is any part of the bolt above the surface of the head you can use an arc or wire feed welder to weld an oversize nut to the end of the bolt ant turn it out with a socket. If none is sticking up then you can put a washer over the bolt with a nut on top of it. You can then weld the nut and bolt together and turn it out.
