Drill it out. Start small and keep going up.
One secret to life. Step #1 - Find something you enjoy doing. Step #2 - Find someone foolish enough to pay you to do it.

This is why I never spend more than 40 bucks on a flash light. The new LED tech out there means you can get something better than top-of-the-line 10 years ago for less than 50 bucks.
