Looks like you have more epoxy to get out. Take a drill with a drill bit, 3/16 maybe, and keep drilling deeper in 1/8" increments going deeper and deeper until you see the material change. Then you'll know the depth of the epoxy. Once your that far, do some more holes to that same depth, then try and crack the rest of the epoxy out of there. Worst that happens is you wreck the handle and you'll have some experience for the next one you get.
Measure the holes diameter, buy a TGN finest 2 band 2mm smaller than the size measured and epoxy it in there using pennies to get the loft to 48mm. ( You don't have to do it to 48mm loft, that's just where I'd put it at.)
