Try a bit of lube on the threads.  Tap from the top and bottom with a =
punch.  Then try turning by hand a slightly oversize drill from the =
bottom.  I assume you got the hole all the way through.  Might work.  A =
square tapered easy out might work from the bottom too.

  I am struggling with a frozen agraff on a Steinway D. Has anyone tried =
heating the stud ,say with a soldering iron? Any suggestions would be =
appreciated. When it broke it left a peak across the center making it =
extremely difficult to drill down the center for an ez out. I managed a =
slightly off center hole but it's not budging. Thanks.
