There are a few possibilities, but without a picture (or more precise description), we can't really help you.

Was it the fixing bolt for the crank (3 common sizes)? One of the chaining bolts (again, 3 commonly used sizes)?

I'd first grind the screw stub flat with an abrasive rotary tool. This will allow you to drill without the bit wandering. If you have a crank arm puller, I would use the outer part to form a guide for your drill bit. You will have to make a sleeve out of a length of wood dowel with a through hole the diameter of your bit. Screw this on to your crank and it will perfectly center the bit in the stub. If you have already removed the crank, put it back on.

If you are talking about chainring bolts, just drill them from the front and they will separate. No need to extract.

Good luck.
