Not unless it was reasonably loose. Usually when faced with this, I drill into the bolt with a very hard drill bit a tiny bit thinner than the bolt - ie if it's a 3/8 bolt, I drill in first with a 1/8 drill to create a guide hole, then after with a 5/16 drill to cut right through, yet not harm the threads. You have to be very careful to stick to an exactly straight course. After the hole is cleared, I pull the threads left from the bolt out as far as I can, then use a 'clearance' tap of bolt size to re-tap the hole.

How do you make hole drilling where at the exit the drill has partial entry in to the wall thickness which makes the load nonuniform on the drill and hence drill breaks and size is not maintained?

There are a few ways of doing it depending on the exact geometry, size, and tolerance. You could drill the hole before cutting the profile that results in the partial entry. You could drill very carefully and slowly, stepping up the drill from a small size to the final size, if the smaller size would enter complete. You could make a fixture to fit over the part so the drill is guided into it. There are low melting alloys you can pour around the area to make a complete entry. You then melt the alloy away.

How do you decrease rpm of the drill so that it draws less current from 4Amp to 1 Amp I want it to run very slowly?

It sounds like you need a variable speed drill. There was an item on the market a few years ago that you could plug your drill into and control its speed. I haven't seen one lately since most new drills have variable speed built into the drill. On a drill press all you need to do is move the drive belt to the smallest pulley on the motor and the biggest pulley on the drill spindle.

How do you fix a broken valve cover bolt on a Chevy 1500 with a 5.3?

Remove the broken bolt and replace it with a new one. There are several ways to remove that broken bolt. You can remove the valve cover and weld a nut to what is left of the bolt, wait for it to cool off then unthread the broken bolt. You can also drill out the center of the broken bolt and use an easy-out. You can also drill into the broken bolt with a left handed drill bit, sometimes the drill bit will catch and spin out the broken piece. I would go with the first suggestion.
