I think filling is the easiest way to go. Trying to drill out hardened steel is quite a task and not really necessary if the pivot is alraedy oversized and can accommodate a 1/16" drill if you do fill it.

I like the use the difference size brass tubing. Figure it will work like roller bearings and hopefully the brass parts will wear instead of the hole.
My wife calls me.........

I use JB Weld. Never had a problem with it. Will last many many razors. Very easy to fill and drill. Many other uses.

Perhaps there may be issues with doing this that someone might point out, but doing this has worked me and i haven't seen any problems yet. Figured it out one day that I had no nylon washers. Was a life saver!“You must unlearn what you have learned.”

I did something similar with a razor I re-pinned after making a new scale. The hole in the blade was larger than the hole in the scale. I used a brass sleeve with an inside diameter that just fit over the standard 1/16 nickle silver rod and used that as a sheath for the blade. The blade does swing a little too freely because of the sheath though. I like them to be a little stiffer. I think perhaps I cut the brass sheath a little too long so the scale makes contact with both ends of it making a tight pinning a little difficult. I may pull it apart and file down the brass sheath a bit and see if that fixes it.
Good luck

After pulling it apart I see the hole is too large, and it has a ridge in the middle, like it's been dug from both sides and didn't quite meet exactly in the middle. The result is the brass rod was about 50% eaten through.
It'd spoil your shave the day it broke entirely.
You can fit about three pieces of rod through the hole otherwise
