I wonder if you drill the holes for the plugs so that they are off center
from the hole where the pins were and will be. That way, the plug would be
restricted from rotatating. That would involve somehow "remembering" where
the original tuning pin holes were. Maybe you could make an outline of where
all the pins are, drill the plug holes off-center and then use the outline
to drill the new holes.

I might be way off here. I don't really know anything about drilling a pin
block. I'm still near the beginning of the Potter course! Give me some
time...
