Bob, I have done this with the head installed with good results. I first used a dremel to grind the head of the stud flat so I had a good place to start drilling. THen I use a center punch, then an actual center drill to get good start in the stud. I did use cobalt drills and they worked very well. Obviously dont forget to swallow as much of the drill bit as possible to prevent breakage. Dont use an easy out, it will break off in the stud, but thats a different story. Keep increasing the drill size until you are big enough to re-tap, or use the good'ole endmill in a hand drill if the hole moves off center. You might as well give it a try... if you screw up you have to pull the head anyway. Good luck and use the right tools!

Matt
