A number one easy out right through the center. I have done that so many times. Soak the bowl area with rust buster don't spray just pour it in and let it work.

You can safely heat aluminum/pot metal to 400 degrees without damging it. Soak the jets for a bit, whack them with a hammer and punch a few times to loosen them up then put some heat around them NOT on them with a propane torch. Tap an easy out in and twist them out.
They are just brass, they can't be stuck that bad.

Someone one another forum has found a tap to tap those for Holley jets
Great ideas have always encounter violent opposition from mediocre minds.

Holley jets are the same thread on most years.

Re: i stripped the brass jets in autolite 2100
tap a torx bit in there and use a socket that worked on a broken fuel filter for me and when you get the jets make sure they are both the same size they have numbers on them. or you can get the a couple of junk parts carbs and build one mean one of them that is what i do
if its fixed break it again red white and ford blue the only up hill thats good is the one you are going down
