OK, the job is done and here are the pics.

Next time "Please step away from the (so called) Easy outs"
After striping the hex, drilling, and the reaming as result of failed easy out there was very little left to weld to.
It gave very little trouble on removal but took two attempts.
First attempt I only gave half a try, welding to the wider, easy, side of the remnants in hopes it'd come out without much fuss. That got it to move but twisted off. The second and a proper attempt I welded around the entire diameter, more stuff in shear so not as likely to twist off like before. That's all it took.
