Upper rear shock bolt
Hey, so I know it is a common problem and most people use an air hammer to knock these out or they plan out a weekend with a BFH and a chisel. I was wondering if you could just drill them out?

The easy option would be to get one of these kits:
Once drilled out you can just pop it up and bolt into it. If you opt for larger bolts then you'll have to also enlarge the slots on the shocks to take the larger bolts.
