I have to agree, that is a tough one. Have you thought of trying a tungsten carbide burr, sometimes known as a rotary file? Like this <http://www.browntool.com/Default.aspx?tabid=344&CategoryID=105&Level=a&ProductID=367>. Maybe in the jig you used to drill the center of the bolt. It will cut the ez-out, though it will take a steady hand. You jig would be a great help, though.
