If you are drilling stainless, you'll be needing cobalt bits. They're generally spendy. Axminster Tools may be your best bet for individual bits - as opposed to sets. Were it me, I'd go for the 5.5Ø and see if I can pick out the remains - as opposed to cutting into the aluminium. https://www.axminstertools.com/axminster-cobalt-hss-drill-bit-5-5mm-400166?glCountry=GB&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIutrn65bI6wIVUed3Ch0X9wrkEAQYBCABEgLN2_D_BwE

5.0 is the tap drill for M6×1.0, if you drill 5.5 you'll be cutting away the bits of aluminium which are holding most of the load.
That's a better call than mine.
