I would be careful to heat it too much locally as you can crack the block casting. This is a long shot short of pulling the engine and getting it to a machine shop. Milwaukee and others make a real heavy duty, portable, magnetic base drill press. If you could locate one to borrow or rent you might use it to mill that bolt out to near tap drill size with a carbide end mill and then re-tap it. The problem with a hand drill is you are probably off center and way out of square. That head bolt is in there a ways. Sorry to say, I think you know you are in deep do-dah, digs.
Worst case, you get that block to a shop, they'll fix it.
