You hope. Unless you can remove the part, set it on a bench or in a vise and drill it out, it just makes me nervous doing that. I remember changing an exhaust manifold on a 460 ford motor, one of the studs stripped out the block, and I was sooooo nervous about drilling into a water passage. Glad you got something to work though.
