You are probably going to use 3/0 or even 4/0 pins. There is no need make the holes any larger than they are. What you might want to do, however, is clean the holes. I would suggest you get a .22 caliber rifle bore cleaner. Just chuck it in a hand held drill and clean out the holes, at a slow speed.
