    Buc,
    I’m LOL. I just got done doing the exact same thing! I was looking for some small rod stock I had which I thought I could sharpen a little bit to drill the crap out very slowly. Couldn’t find the rod stock but came across a piece of very stiff wire. Didn’t know if that would work but I filed a point on it and drilled on the debris a little bit, then tapped on it very lightly with a small hammer and it poked right through. It was sure plugged up but flushed it all out and drains perfectly now.
