Find a screw thats large enough to fit into the hole. Screw it in to use as a plug. Coat the underside of the screw with silicon. Then find an alternate source for vacuum.

next time just use a pair of dykes to cut the tip. I was afraid to do the same thing.
It's not that bad. A good cheap learning experience
