What method could I use to detect whether burrowed or unburrowed?
None.
Say I want to detect when a drone unburrows as a means of activating a revive.
What method could I use to detect whether burrowed or unburrowed?

Here are the steps you need to have the triggers follow:
1: center a small 1 pixel by 1 pixel location on the drone
2: move an arbitrary but small unit owned by a computer player, say a terran civilian, from an arbitrary, isolated location to the 1 pixel by 1 pixel location you centered on the drone
3: in a separate trigger, detect whether the terran civilian is at the 1 pixel by 1 pixel location. If he is, the drone is burrowed. If he is not, the drone is unburrowed.
4: move the civilian back to it's arbitrary, isolated location, using a 'move all terran marine for -computer player- at location anywhere to 'isolated location''.

Is there an EUD method?

You'll have to see what other flags are set on these bytes for the unit of interest to get the exact values, and of course +0xDC means how far it is from the start of the unit struct at a particular index. I'd probably opt for the method Zoan suggested for the sake of simplicity, though (it's what I used for Fireball's burrow detection).

I find using scarabs, interceptors, or siege tanks infinitely easier than a burrowed unit.

You could put a power-up (owned by player 12) over the drone. Detect when the player brings the power-up to the location. When the worker picks up the power-up, it will be read as being owned by the player's worker. Killing the unit drops the power-up, returning its ownership to player 12.
Supposing this is in some controlled environment where you don't have to worry about anyone else picking it up. It won't be as fast as other methods listed above though, since there is a delay between when the drone unburrows and when it picks up the power-up.
