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 remove male pipe threads broken off on the inside of a female pipe fitting when the female fitting cannot be rotated?

To remove broken male pipe threads from a female fitting that cannot be rotated, you can use a left-handed drill bit slightly smaller than the thread diameter. Carefully drill into the center of the broken thread; as you drill, the reverse rotation may cause the broken piece to unscrew itself. If that doesn't work, you can also apply penetrating oil and use a screw extractor to grip and remove the remnants. Always ensure you have proper safety gear and take care to avoid damaging the female fitting.


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.
