I have seen two stocks split that had lead plugs in them. Not sure I would bet on drilling the center out, as it is the oxidation on the outside of the lead plug against the wood that causes the expansion.

Yup, after drilling out as much of the center as possible, drill a hole that includes an edge of the plug as well as a bit of wood, leaving room for the plug to move.
