The hammer is tool steel, hard to drill on a good day and while in the lower tube you would likely damage the brass when the drill bit walks against the hard tool steel with no center punch mark.

KP2 body $200 -$300 in good condition, a lot less if mangled.
LB bolt $10 to $20 used
Cut the cheapest part first.

Drill the bolt from the back.
If the ball bearings are not out use a 3/16" drill bit, anything larger will force the balls outward denting the barrel from the inside out.

If you removed the balls when you took off the back of the bolt use a 1/4" drill bit and then if you can't get it out use a 5/16" bit.

Unless you have to use a bit larger than 1/4" the bolt can be converted to a solid lug and used in a gun with a quick strip notch.
