Default Pressing New drums onto hubs-wheel stud diameter issue

Hey gang.

Putting new drums on the front of the 46 coupe (I did the backs a few years ago and don't remember this problem). I have a set of the 51A-1125 drums. And the 51a-1107 studs.

I pressed the old studs and hub off of the drum this morning. When I went to press in the new studs and drum, the diameter of the studs isn't wide enough to press in. The studs slide into the hub and drum, but spin freely not giving me enough "meat" to press into.

It appears that a small amount of material from the hub has clung to the old wheel studs when I pressed them out making the holes slightly over sized, I will attach a pic below.

Has anyone run into this before? Do I need new hubs or do you think a trip to NAPA might solve the problem and I could find some oversize studs that will work?
