You can still widen the pinch like.035" and run down a1/2" bit without going thru the casting.

You will however need a strong drill.

A 3/8" chuck model and one of those 1/2" bits that neck down to 3/8" will not get it done unles you use intermediate size bit before the 1/2".

If you still want more clearance at the top and have a chamfer bit or a unibit then use that some at the very top of the hole.
