Hey Lee, see Brodie's "The Wasp" thread. He's had the same problem and a bunch of guys have listed solutions there. They probably should get moved to a thread of their own, as it seems to be a common problem.

So I found a thread on TDPRI about this same issue. http://www.tdpri.com/forum/tele-home...ml#post3834828. This seems to be the most accepted solution that I have found.
So I got my small diameter (3.18mm) brass tubing from the local hobby shop, This was the perfect size. The inside diameter was almost the exact same size as the screw, and the screw actually drew the plug cutter in.
I attacked it with the dremel to get some teeth on it, and used a pin-vise to hold the tubing. This made it usable by hand to start the hole off, then i transferred it to a drill and went to town once it wouldnt wander.
After the screw was out I got some offcuts from shaping the headstock and whittled a dowel a bit larger than the hole, then put it in the drill and used the drill and spun it on some sandpaper to make a dowel the perfect size for the hole.
