 I had same problem.

 I pounded the threaded part until it had deformed enough to fill the hole,
 then I filed it flush, center punched the centre of the blob, and drilled
 with a 1/4" drill until I could just feel the drill catching on the fulcrum
 pin itself. Changed to a 5/32" drill, and drilled past the flat on the
 fulcrum pin almost all the way through to the other end of the cotter pin.
 Then drove the whole thing out with a 5/32" pin punch.

 Pretty well essential to have properly sharpened  drills.

 Cheers
