Drilling hardened steel opinions/suggestions?

See my post on exhaust repair.
I have worn 6 drill bits out trying to drill an exhaust clamp including a Titanium Nitride bit (one hole drilled OK the other was untouchable). My exhaust specialist indie says he has no special tricks and dreads this aspect of his work!
I will try the other suggestion (heat to red heat and tap out etc etc but I thought I'd poll the forum for experiences:
So.........for drilling out hardened steel what would you recommend?
