The advice on ez-outs was given by, well, idiots. This screw is not frozen in a steel engine block, not rusted by exposure to sea water, not secured in brittle cast aluminum. No, it's in fiberglass with some sort of soft metal stiffener. LH drills are also overkill.

It’s still very tricky being so close to edges of panels.
