My brother-in-law is a DDS and I trust him. We had some problems with solder voids in the past, and he was invaluable. He'd drill them out and fill them with SAC3240X+.

Well, you won't win any IPC awards for doing this. Another idea is to use a center punch to create the dimple you need. It wouls be quicker and you won't destroy the barrel like you will with a drill. Don't ask me how I know.
