you will have to drill it right up to the threads. if you get it close a carbide burr will help finish it. even if you muck the threads up a little it will bo ok. then take a small punch or chisel and peel the bolt away from the housing. after it gets twisted a bit vise grips or even an easy out will catch the edge. if you are not using straight ez-outs vs lh thread keep in mind that the ez out expands the metal as it bites in. straight edge ones will not.
