A couple of ideas:
Sears makes an extractor set that works without drilling pilot holes. Have a look at that kit.
Also, there's a liquid that contains really hard crystals. A few drops often adds enough substance via the crystals to effect removal. This stuff works very well with sockets / rounded bolt heads and has saved my bacon a couple of times. Probably not as effective in your situation though. It's available at most large tool shops and it's cheap.
How about enlarging your 1/8 inch pilot hole to 9/64 or 5/32?
