That'd be the easiest and the cheapest, too. I wouldn't even have to remove the bypass elbow if I can find a tap wrench extension. I'd be a little leery of drilling out the hole in the bypass elbow too big, though. It's aluminum and there isn't much metal around the hole as is. I'd hate to break it. The good thing is it's only water behind the hole so a few metal shavings down inside isn't going to hurt anything.
