Exhaust Manifold Bolt issue

While drilling out a broken exhaust manifold bolt, one of the smaller drill bits when all the way through.... This is on a 2002 5.3. Is this something a machine shop could fix, or will I need a new cylinder head? I thought about high temp locktight and a small set screw as well....

Rear passenger side was the bolt...

Yeah, I went a bit to far with the 1/8" bit and before I knew it was through the thin aluminum section behind the bolt....
