Hans, You should try to get your hands on some "reverse" drill bits and run your drill backwards, that will sometimes make the bolt come out by itself while drilling.
As for the hardening, I don�t think the material will harden until it cools down, and then only if it cools down rapidly (like using water). Correct me if I'm wrong here.

I didn't know about the hardening. I supppose thats one more reason to use good sharp bits.

Even though the bolt may be softer, when you drill through them, I always drill as slow as possible. Reason is, the heat generated from drilling will in effect "harden" the bolt making it difficult.
