They sell reverse sockets that are used for removing wheel locks & stripped wheel studs. I saw some in a matco tools catalog. I bet they have them for studs too. You won't get the torque you need by drilling a hole inside, you need to grab the outside of the stud.

or one thing to try is grinding 2 flat sides and using a big pair of vise grips
