If you go with drilling a hole, just grab a shop vac and keep the tip of the vacuum hose near the tip of the drill to suck up chips before they have a chance to fall in. It won't get 100% of 'em but...

It sounds like you're drilling it but it's not grabbing hold once the screw is in? You mention that it can't get deep enough. Nothing in there should be thicker than 1/4" and unless you're drilling...

Length wise. They look just like yours. Let me find the pic I have. Why do you want to screw/weld them? If they're already tacked in, I'd leave em except for rust treatment, paint or coating and such.
