I got a tungsten carbide drill bit from my local engineering sales company as I snapped a tap off in mine.
You could try using a centre punch to break out the easy out as being hss it is not impact resistant.....
Wrt the exhaust header bolts spray night and day with plus gas (not wd40, has to be plus gas) and then try to tighten them up instead of undoing them then undo them. Did that on mine and they all came out no problem at all. I then replaced everything in stainless....
Alternatively you could just by my bike which is in the for sale section at the moment as it has all been done..... :-)
