Baz...my first reaction to this was "oh f**k".

I KNOW you want some wonderful engineering suggestion as to how to do this, but taps are made of HARDENED steel and I think you may be screwed here my friend. I don't think you can do this yourself at all as the type of tools typically available to us "enthusiastic amatuer" car builders will not make a dent in that tap! My recommendation is to take the whole thing to a professional machine shop and see if they can do it for you!!!
