A lot depends on how accessible it will be to work the hole with a hand-file, especially on the passenger side because of the timing cover and exacerbated by working from underneath
Going to attempt this while engine is still in the wooden cradle in bed of the truck with the front of engine over-hanging over the rear of bed of the truck.

Edit - this was based on a comment I had read regarding clearance for the inboard bolt on the passenger side
(See the previous post where I got fixed upon the reported issue of interference of the passenger side bolt with the timing cover)

See the next post, I don't believe this is going to be an issue, at least on this particular motor, now I see what I'm working with.
So that 'solution' is not going to be necessary.
