I would use a smaller bit than a 1/16. If you can get the sharpest, smallest bit you can and DO NOT use a power drill to do it. Twirl it between your thumb and index finger. I had a guy tell me to drill a hole in my fingernail after I smashed it like that. When it was still throbbing the next day I figured I'd give it a shot. The relief was instant, took the pressure off.
