If you have any mates that fly R/C aeroplanes you might be able to mount it in a prop balancer to check on the hole drilling effectiveness.

you should be able to get it pretty close with the drill method, but yeah if you have a better option for sure!

I know my 36 - 1 trigger wheel had about 10mm hole to offset the one missing tooth!

That's a good idea and cheap as chips, here's a hand held balancer delivered for 8 bucks.
