While drilling the flange relief holes on the stabilizer centre ribs (6-T-1C) I made an error and drilled them too far out... no problem, just elongate the holes with a round file and bring them in. That went okay, but as I did them all together clamped in the cutting blocks, some of them were opened out a bit far. So instead of being 5/32" (half the 5/16" hole required) from the corner it's about 7/32" in the worst instance. See photo for what I'm on about.
Crucial or not? Do I just scrap them and make them again... no real hassle, but it all takes time.
Appreciate your input.

I would have no concerns about the overdepth bend relief holes on thr corners. The amount you have gone, on such a short height part, in that gauge of aluminum should be negligible.
