Unhappy HELP!! Passenger side motor mount bolts....

So the pass. side motor mount to block bolts sheared off AGAIN....just fixed it last fall.

This time have pulled both motor mount big bolts; pulled alternator and lowered motor as far as I could. Not much room, even with right angle drill attachment (from Harbor Freight so not the best).
1) Tried drilling center bolt for ez-out; got ez-out in, put pliers on it and snapped tip off in hole.
2) Tried drilling out front bolt and got hole started then snalled tip of bit off in hole.
3) Can't get good shot at rear most bolt.
4) Cordless, battery powered 19.2 drill so maybe not enough torque to drill well....suggestions.

Have tried heating 2-3 times each and also hit it with PB Blaster. Any and all help is appreciated at this point....I am out of ideas and not wanting to take it to someone...too much $$

Please and thanks in advance for any and all ideas!!

Can you get a chisel in there to break the extractors apart?
But first can you get them to move with a scribe?

Did anything work?

I know there's another guy here that's real good.

Forgot his name... 5-90 or something like that.
