You can repair yours per outline above, or buy one from Woodland Sports. (Jerry)

I read you can tap the hole, install a set screw, then drill it out

I've never heard that and it doesn't sound like a good way to correct the metering hole deficiency.
I think If a screw is used it seems it would then make re-drilling the "oil channel" back to correct size harder. Also, I would be concerned the screw could dislodge then you would have big problems. If welded/brazed then a new/correct size metering hole can be easily relocated alongside the filled hole, then it's just a matter of redrilling the "oil channel".

They cost like $20. If they were $200 then I could see attempting some type of repair, however, I would never rely on something screwed in.
