I do not know if I would recommend doing the tap plug it would be easier for the machine shop to bore it out to the next available plug. The other issue you may have is if you had to remove the plug for what ever reason it maybe difficult to remove it if you had build up of rust on the back side on the tread. I am sure there are other pros reading this post perhaps their feedback would be great.
