Also make sure that you don't drill completely throught the plug as it will blow out the back end and all that stuff falls into the cylinder and is near impossible to get out unless you crack open the head to get in there. EZ outs are great but be carefull you don't go frying pan to the fire.
No need to drill a broken spark plug- I never have.
