Go to Home Depot welding section and pick up a tip cleaner
about $4 it will be a blue and aluminum hinged case with progressively larger serrated wires and a small flat file for cleaning acetylene torch tips. Real handy for keeping nipples clean, clean, clean. Can also be used to measure exactly what size hole you have now. I would be cautious about drilling out the nipple. Nipples can be hard and difficult to drill with a tiny little bit, good chance of winding up with a broken bit stuck in the hole.
