Boy, I don’t think I could ever be successful drilling out that tiny screw in that delicate aluminum bellcrank on a shaft that just wants to rotate out of the way. Fortunately, I have a few extra bellcranks, so I’m sure I would just end up splitting that one apart to save the shift handle, then replacing the bellcrank.

I think that’s the safest bet here . I would likely destroy both the bell crank and the shift lever trying to drill it out. I know an experienced machinist could do it probably by making some sort of drill guide . I lack the skill and equipment. 😥 What would you use to split it ?
