"Myself,I prefer a vertical mill for this sort of thing,Many smiths have one.The rigid,precise spindle is helpfulI would center over the screw,and use a tool called a center drill to create a small,funnel shaped hole in the scew.This gives your drill the means to stay in the center of the screw.Do not move the positioning.You need to stay over this center,Then likley the magic tool will be a left hand drill bit.It can be carefully hand ground.It is run counterclockwise.As it bites a chip,likely the screw will back out.If that fails,I make an EZ-out by grinding a tapered square shape on a hi-speed lathe bit.Use a tap wrench and back it out.A good tapping fluid will help.
The touch is a little like rocking a vehicle out when you are stuck.Just work on getting motion,reverse,etc."

My thoughts exactly.
