So having got a K&K Pure Mini acoustic pick up for my acoustic 12-string, I sent Levinson an email asking if the endpin is glued in or screwed in or just stuck in tight.
They sent me these in response, saying this is how they do it -
These suggest to me that I saw off the sticky out bit of the endpin, then drill through the rest of it.
I'm a bit wary of the potential for scratching the bejaysus out of the finish, but fair enough, if that's how one does it, that's how one does it. (Yes I can see there's masking tape around it, but it's not the most robust of defences in my experience.)
Do the experts here agree and if not, how would you do it?

i cut further away from the body and drilled a 3mm hole down the centre before going for the bigger drill bit

Gulp.
(I was going to add I'll cross my fingers, but I'm not sure how I'd hold the blade properly if I did that.)

I probably should have said, if the endpin is glued I grip the head of it sideways with the Mole grips and rotate it to break the glue first, rather than trying to just pull it straight out.
