(harbor freight tools= cheap, affordable tools, etc.)
DIY methods,
A. remove posts.
B. use a 30 degree angled bevel bit to initial ream out to the new accommodating size.
the reamer "should" not grab the paint...
C. now use your drill bit of choice that would be just a tad smaller than the new posts
(you could do the ground wire to the post trick if you want to at this time)
D. Press in your new to you posts
Or, bring a six pack of sierra nevada Topedo over and I will do it for you>^v^<

Might also consider a fill-and-redrill op.I want to depart this world the same way I arrived; screaming and covered in someone else's blood

Sears has a drill guide that you hook your hand drill to and it acts like a drill press...at least it holds the bit at the correct 90 degrees. If you go slow it will work just fine. I have used mine on 2 guitars with no issues."Rule number one: In my van, it's Rush. All Rush, all the time. No exceptions. Rule number two: Nobody touch the red button. And I mean never touch the red button. Most importantly, rule number three: There's no jerking it in my van!"

The simplist way I found to enlarge Floyd post holes for the bushings is to use a 15/64" bit and run the drill in reverse that way it won't tear the paint, the bit should follow the original post holes nicely provided they are similar in size ( old to new ) .
