I wouldn't drill holes in the stock to reassemble a LC. It's too easy to slide a nice pin punch in the threaded hole of the shaft on the toplever and simply push the shaft into alignment. If a gunsmith did this to my priceless Deluxe grade, I'd keelhaul him. Since I don't have a priceless Deluxe grade, I'm not so worried, but I still wouldn't be happy about it.

If you're not happy with the pin punch idea, you can use a long, hardened, screw.
