If you drilled 1/4" through the bolt, you may be able to use a pick and pull out the remnants. Then clean out with the correct tap. Just go slow and easy.
An easy out would work, but it is ahrd to get a good quality easy out that snmall that would not just snap off.

Try and avoid using the easy outs...... they are very hard, but, brittle. They break relatively easily, and then you have a REAL problem.
I drilled an 1/8th inch hole thru my bolts, all the way thru, then used a torch to blow the rest out. Ran a tap down them, and nice and clean. The head can transfer a LOT of heat away, so, no real danger of screwing it up. if you start blowing material off the head when blowing out the bolt though..... you are doing it wrong.
