Have you looked into glass-seed beading needles. I have found they work well in very small holes and they are cheep. There is also another very handy tool that is used in bead-work. It's a small reamer coated with diamond dust, just a few twist in hole from each side of the dead-eye / block helps the line pass thru. with less fraying. Both can be found at many larger craft stores. Good luck and good sailing, mlb
