Thank you all very much for your responses! Some of the things you guys said I kind of suspected after my errors anyway, like the ft/lbs. wrench being too much and needing sealant at the bottom of the timing cover, but it's always good to get more opinions if you don't know for sure. Right now I have left-handed drill bits on the way, and I'm going to give those a shot when they arrive.
@thinger2 Thanks for telling me about drill speed; I wasn't completely sure whether to go slower or full throttle. I actually did try going slower at one point, but for the most part I went full speed. I'll of course keep referring back to this thread, and post what my results are when I get that bolt out, and then the cover back on.
