First option to explore would be the leg of an existing installed thru 
hole (TH) component (headers included). That's why the move from TH to 
SMD doesn't always reduce the amount of hole drilling for the 
homebrewer as drastically as some would have us believe. SMD needs more 
forced or dedicated vias.
