If you get a high quality bit and a good easeout you can get it. The only other option I can think of is pulling the manifold off.

Like the prior poster said, you might have to pull the header out, much easier to work at it there... Otherwise, drill and tap it where it sits...

I agree, pulling the headers off is the easiest and fastest way to get it.
