You neglected to mention the other option: Purchase a new bolt with a cotter pin hole. In the smaller sizes they are less than $1.00. Aircraft Spruce & Specialty is a good source, but a local FBO will probably have an assortment. Also, if you are working on your own plane, "AC43.13" tells all about "Acceptable (to the FAA) Techniques," including questions such as the one you asked (it's also available mail order).
