    Not sure if this has been mentioned since I haven't read all this thread's posts, but for the odd shaped, oval holes Ive used "tube springs" with great results. Not sure the exact name, it's basically a 1/8", or 3/16" tube with a slit cut out running the length of the tube. They are slightly larger than their indicated sizes until they are compressed, then they fit tightly into the holes with no play. No drilling or filling with resin required. They are available at home depot in the hardware section, in the "specialty" hardware bins that are usually above the regular bolts and screws. Works very well for me.
