Drill bit recommendation needed

OKIt started as a very simple job to remove the screws from the door latch
assemblys in the door jams.  As it turns out the < Phillips head screws
were installed with a thread locking compound.  I had to drill through the
center of the screw and remove them with a screw extractor.

While doing the last one, the extractor broke flush in the hole.  Now, I
have to drill out the extractor, which is extremely hardened steel.  I do
not have a bit (in my tool box) that will begin to cut through this
material.

Would greatly appreciate any suggestions.



Regards,

Ed Hamilton
