Looks like a trip to the machine shop is in my future...

Tried cooking for days in deep creep, tried heat, welding a nut on it, drilling, etc. It just keeps destroying my tools. 😩 If I'm taking them off and over to a machine shop, what else should I have them do? Looking for advice and suggestions. 1964 Ford F100 w/ 292 Y-block -Central Florida-
