Looking to see how folks counter bore screw holes on their lock kits.

On this M1717 lock, the pan screw needs to be flush or slightly below the surface.

I was able to counterbore it with an end mill bit, however I was not very pleased with it. The pan is attached and works fine, however I do feel there is a much cleaner approach to counter boring (not counter sinking).

Does anyone have any easier method ?
