Would heed tachrev's caution about being extra careful not to mar the mating surface.
May be worth considering EDM.

Am thinking "left-handed bit" and "reverse bit" are interchangeable terms meaning the same thing.
Customer: Got any left-hand drill bits?
Clerk: Yes, we have reverse drill bits.

But I did find some replacement JIS flange bolts so once those get here I'll give this a go again.

when using stainless bolts in aluminum i don't use anti-sieze or threadlocker.
but if you are going to use threadlocker use the blue loctite in aluminum.
it is like it creates a barrier between the aluminum and the bolt and prevents them from gaulding.
thats been my experiance.
ymmv.
