Should I start with a left hand drill bit first or a spiral extractor thing?

@tipsy I think usually the work flow is drill a small hole with the left handed bit (not large enough to drill out the threads) and after that try one of the spiral screw extractors. Penetrating oil (like PB blaster) and some more heat could also help loosen it.

Too much heat will soften the stainless and they will strip easily lol

I wonder if they make 12.9 hardened zinc plated set screws. Those might be better for this application.

They are alloy steel, not stainless.

For properly loctited bolts you are required to use a proper blowtorch.
Heat it until the parts are VERY hot. You can check it simply: if you touch it with your finger and get instant blisters, it’s good. 
Unscrew the bolts only with a hex wrench.
If you overdo it, it breaks the hex, not the bolt.
In your case, you need to take the main plate off the adapter. Drill out the bolt with 5.5mm drill. If you damage the thread it’s not a problem. You can always insert a helicoil to fix the thread.

I use a soldering iron to heat up bolts like that.
