My screw in "nut" was countersunk, so I just sight drilled a bevel with a bigger drill bit...very carefully.

They are very pricey and no guarantees on not breaking the glass but that's the only way I've seen.

Get one of those cheap miniature diamond burr sets from HF and grind away the glass. Don't try to hurry it, you don't want the glass to get too hot (which can break it).; /html/triumphs/2012-10/msg00245.html (12,475 bytes)
