I saved my sons radiator from this fate, i used a battery drill with a reverse (LH) twist drill bit, to drill out the broken bolts. I used Krol oil as the lube. I had caused this by not using neversieze on the shroud screws when I serviced the clutch 3 years earlier. all 5 screws came loose from the heat of drilling them out, left hand bits seem to work best, never had to use an ez-out....

When doing this....put a copper pc. of tubing over the drill bit, the proper length that will allow drilling the screw but not allow you enough length to drill into the radiator tank....

Herman, I'm aware you may have some tools that are nearly as old as me, but i doubt your drill doesn't have a reverse switch

You are correct about the tools being old
At home i have some portable drills
but at the shop I use an air drill (no reverse) i just borrow my mechanics drill.

Old tools are the best tools. I was at Herman's house and he was playing a little music. Haven't seen one of these in century's.
