Even a carbide burr in an electric drill will have you taking the long road to getting it done...IMO assuming you could borrow or have a small air compressor...The best, easiest route would be to buy a cheap harbor freight pneumatic die grinder for around $20 and use the carbide burrs in that...

An those small pneumatic die grinders are a PITA to use if you have to use a long shank to reach.........that's why I got the one I did.
