at this point I would contact a tranny shop and have them do yoiur work for you. Obviously you don't know the power of your own strength. IF you insist on doing the work yourself, go down to your local Auto Parts store and invest in a modern "click it" type of torque wrench and stop over torquing.
Next you are going to have to replace the damaged parts. You didn't specify if it was the tail shaft or the main case that you drilled. If it is just a tail shaft that bolts to the main case. Hit the pick a part treasure trove. If it is the main case. Hit the tranny shop and have them put you a reman together.
