What I do is take a cordless drill out to the tire and ream out the hole
using a bit (preferably dull) same size as the reamer. Much easier
especially when the hole to be reamed is 1/16" as in my case. In and out
once or twice with the bit is plenty. If you keep it in too long it may
remove too much material.
Hope this helps.

I pulled out my tire patch kit, reamed the hole (it takes a LOT to open up a
hole in a 40" bias ply tire)
