       The top half of the hole yes . The actual nozzle where the lead   
   comes out no . Won't quite pass a 6d box nail .

   I assumed you wouldn't have a set of jewelers' needle files or rifflers, the   
   chainsaw file is similar and common.   
      
   Maybe you could chisel out the crud with a pin punch ground flat with sharp   
   edges, which doesn't ruin it as a punch. A broken tap with the end ground at   
   an angle and held in the pin vise might work as a gouge chisel. The   
   half-round shape is useful enough to be commercially produced.
