OK, I'll bite...

How did you use an easy-out with out first drilling a hole?

I agree, they are mis named!

I could not start the bits as a result, even with a center punch. I tried an "easy out" (probably the world's most mislabelled piece of crap) with similar results. I am headed back under to try cutting a slot in the bolt to come out with a screwdriver. Just came up for air to let the blood run back to where it will do more good. More to follow.
