I'm not sure if a drill bit will work since the bit has to rotate clockwise to bite into the material but the plug has to come out counter-clockwise. I used a hacksaw blade to carefully cut through it, front to back, in a couple of places then used needle nosed pliers to pull out the pieces. Another way would be to use this, which can be found at Ace, Home Depot, etc.
Left hand drill bits are available and just for info left hand thread taps are available as well.

it worked fast and easy.
A sprinkler nipple extractor (Lowes or Home Depot) works the same wan and just as easy. Neither damages the threads.
