I recently got a pipe from a friend. I love the pipe, but the stem hole is way to small. It is a bent stem. Is there any way to drill this out bigger.

You’d have to take a heat gun to it to straighten it out then drill and re-bend. I’ve done it several times but I’ve also messed up several times so be careful.

That was the only suggestion I could think of as well. Or boil the stem for a couple minutes, cause I don't have a heat gun.
