The absolute best way is to use a tool called a tapered reamer. It's about 6" long and tapers from about 1/2" in diameter to 1/8" with a "T" handle. It's got 6 bladed flutes running it's length and you use it for woods, plastics, and metals to ream them out to a slightly larger size. Try the Sears tool dept. for one or maybe the Home Depot tool crib.

wouldnt it end up being cheaper to buy a plate?
