In practice the tip of the drill bit would probably just slip into the gap between the ball and the corner of the hex slot. I guess what happens next depends on the relative hardness and friction between the screw, ball, drill bit and the rust and grit the OP mentioned. It would probably be a matter of trial and error with different drill bit sizes, as well as angles - parallel with the screw thread may not necessarily be the best. | |
