Maybe if you wouldn't drill out two corner pins of the socket you could  
use them
instead of wire or a drill to align... probably too thin.

Drilling with HSS drills freehand is MUCH, MUCH easier and faster, and  
gets good alignment all
the time. The drill stand makes that so much harder, but carbide won't  
work without.
I really must build some viewing mechanism or something.
