Holes in beads can be irregular by a fraction of a millimeter so you might find it fits in some and not other, but you'll only find out if you try!

It sounds like quite a small hole though!

If it is a little small poke an Awl down the bead.
Thats what i usually do.

Some of the glass beads i get are sometimes still bunged up with glass, and poking the sharp deathly implement down it opens it up.
