[Spridgets] Wax Trick didn't work . . .

[Kirk Hargreaves]

You might end up having to center punch it directly in the center. .  get a
sharp new metal drill bit and drill it out being prepared to re-cut the
threads with a tap and die set.  If get have the tools to re-cut (clean up)
the threads afterwards you should be fine.

M7 take on it. . .
