[Shop-talk] .25mm too big

I bought longer bolts for the linkage on my webers so I could use two
regurlar nuts locked together instead of nylocks. They are M5-.8 and are
approx one quarter of one mm too big to fit through the linkage pivots.
The bolts that came with the kit are also M5-.8.
M4s have too much slop and SAE bolts were too big as well.
I ran the new bolts through a die cutter but not much (enought) was cut
off (as expected).
I really don't want to try to drill out the linkage pivot and take a
chance of generating heat and screwing up the rubber bushing.
Thoughts please on what I can do to narrow down the bolts. Maybe a small
round file to try to open up the hole??
Thanks
