Fixing my off-center fastener drilling

Hey folks, today I separated the block and oil pan on my salvage re-build. Unfortunately, two of the oil pan bolts sheared off and I did a terrible job of drilling them out. It was good enough to separate the block and pan, but off-center enough that the original holes are not usable. I'm figuring that I can just have a machine shop fix this along with whatever overhaul machining I need. What would the normal approach be? Fill with a weld and re-drill? Drill a bigger hole and thread it, even if off center from the original? And by the way, any reason I can't use a nut and bolt there instead of a threaded hole?

Thanks for any advice...
