Hi, well I need a couple to swap for the headlight bolts to hide the wiring and then i was also going to use a couple to shorten my handbrake cables.

or you could try in a pillar drill if it is only short bolts and need a hole just big enough for the wires.

If you're struggling, I've got a lathe in the garage, stick the bolts you need in an envelope and I'll drill them out for you.  Just let me know what size hole you want ( don't go to near to the bolt size or it'll probably shear when you tighten it) and don't go for too high tensile or I may struggle.
