How do I fit a 70 gauge electric guitar string into my guitars machine head?

Question

I got a pack of GHS Zakk Wylde boomers, and i really got it just for the 70 gauge string, but only to find i can't fit it through the tuning machine head on my guitar, are there any machine heads i could buy that it would fit in or am i gonna have to drill a bigger hole through the metal? please help

Answer 1

 drill it mate, as long as theres enoguh meat left that the machine head aint significantly weakened just do it! if you f**k it up just by a standard replacement!
