Wow thanks, gave me an idea to just mill down the drill itself

if you mill it down to stock diameter, it would be just as strong as stock.

i would much rather track down the right drill and bit if it was me.

Not bashing you, just think you were making things extra tough on yourself. Like Desert Rat said just get a drill bit with a smaller shank, redily available at any store
