Yessir - drill it out and epoxy in a faux bolt or grind off the scales and start over.
I usually leave about 1/16" of material for the shoulder - that seemed to help quite a bit after I did the same thing multiple times.

Or......you could try welding it and burn up the G-10....

Man that seems to be cutting it close Bill. 1/16 is not much wiggle room. I dont think im that good. Do you use a counter bore or a stop of some kind on the bit?
BTW This handle texture style is just a variation of how you taught me how to do it when I asked you a while back. You probably dont even remember telling me lol. Thanks for the tips brother!
