Have you tried swearing rather a lot? That sometimes helps. By left-handed drill, do you mean a drill bit which is designed to cut in the opposite direction of rotation to a convention drill bit? What is the aim of drilling out the broken fastener? I presume if the correct drill size is used enough of the fastener can be removed that the small bit left engaging the thread of the original hole can be easily removed?
