do you have a dremel and a cutting wheel for said dremel? if so, dont drill, cut a slot in the screw, and use a flat bladed screwdriving bit with a ratchet. I do this on carburetors and other screws that dislike cooperating, it works very well.

I use that method ALOT when working, and easy outs work well but I haven't used them much

If you have to, just drill it out to a larger size and tap it for a larger fastener.

easy outs work too, if you have one that is appropriately sized for the fastener.

Often times it can turn out that 'easy-out' is a misnomer, though...
