If you're self employed or on a commission basis and your time has a serious money value, go to the junk yard and get a valve cover from a similar motor. If you work for someone else and your non-work time is unpaid, try drilling them out. If you have the time, I can't see any danger to at least trying to drill them out. The key is that you need to start in the exact center, so as you increase the drill bit size you eventually drill out everything but the threads. I'd do it on a drill press (valve cover off) if you have the option.
Also, even it you mess the threads, you could drill and tap for a large size, assuming you have those skills.
