Great idea!
Win-win: If it can be hammered in 4-5 mm, nothing more needs to be done.
If it only moves 2-3 mm, the hole created will prevent the small drill from wandering off when drilling deeper for the right depth.

Good point about some light grinding.
I had hopes that it could be loosened with penetrating oil, center punch, small file picking-tool and pulled with a magnet but it sounds like it's tighter than expected?
The torque required for the M12 pulley-bolt is 59 ft-lbs but more than doubles (125 ft-lbs

) with A/C. So, if it isn't tight enough, the dowel is stressed and becomes a shear-pin.
