This subject was extensively posted when John Hilger received not one
but three defectively formed items in a row. They (the responses) should
all be in the archive. The posts at that time was "forgetaboutit", sand
it, stop drill it or do the correct action.
Require that the defective part is replaced with one which is correctly
formed. Vans is great at that. You are the QC on all components
installed. Unfortunately wingtips, canopy, and wheel pants is another
can of QC worms. The process of deburring holes, edges and bends is to
relieve the stress which leads to a crack. Once you have a crack in a
finished aircraft a stop drill is only a band-aid to eventual component
replacement.
A wise builder does not knowingly place defective parts in any assembly.
A conniving builder will avoid posting such a finding into writing on
the WEB and just hide it in the finished assembly. Now that it is
documented on the web, your options become more limited.
Vans only manufactures or resells others parts, you are the manufacturer
of the future airworthy aircraft. You are the final QC.
