Default Clear corner problem, i don't think its possible with a dremel??

Well drilled the holes, and noted the instructions say to eat away at the tabs. The problem is that the one tab is, distance wise, too far away from the lower hole i drilled, my dremel drill bit won't reach. I ran to Home Despot (i mean Depo) and Dremel does not make an extended reach drill bit. So then i checked out all the other maker bits (Bosch, etc) and there isn't any drill bit that length...makes sense as the bit would likely break...

What am i missing? People that used traditional drills could have of course used long drill bits...but i don't have access to a traditional drill here.

Cheers,
Sameer
