Picked up Cobalt bits today at a machine shop supply house. Left hand thread and new so if that doesn't work, sadly, it's "off with the head", as somebody already said.
Did try to drill some C channel scrap Saturday with the bits I tried to use on the bolt. The didn't dent the metal.

Of course using a cutting lubricant such as Rapidtap is always a good idea and makes it much easier. Even WD40 is better than nothing

If you're questioning how sharp you drill bits are just try drilling into a piece of scrap piece of steel on your workbench and see what happens. It is quite possible that the bolt you are trying to drill is a grade 8. In that case
you're going to need a really good bit as MO suggested. Also use that centerpunch as others have suggested. When using an easy out make sure that the hole is undersized enough so that you have to drive the easy out into the hole with a light hammer.
