I'm surprised at this thread. The easiest solution - taught to me a long time ago by an old knifemaker - is to drill the hole and then gently sand down the pin until it fits.

Pin stock is never perfectly sized throughout it's length. You want it to fit tightly, but there's a practical limit to that. Sand-to-fit makes it work.
