You can drill out the holes with a 21/64" bit, no problems, so I think you should be safe. Drilling it out is easy too, the plastic just pops out.

I have another problem with my tetra strike. The fourth barrel never fires. No matter what I do, single shot or multiple shot the dart won't leave the barrel. It had this problem when it was stock also. Everything is sealed nicely and I don't hear any air escaping. What could the problem be? Please click the link below to see the problem in a video.
Example of the Problem

The tank isn't receiving air.
Or he isn't pulling the trigger far enough.

Shadow you were correct.The tank isn't receiving air.

Not to derail the thread, but since there isn't exactly an abundance of TetraStrike threads available, I wanted to ask a question. Have you plugged the pump? If so, and you're pluming to pretty high pressures, can you get the gun to behave normally?
My problem is that the increased force needed to pull the firing pins is so much that it warps the trigger plate enough that the tanks either (A) open slowly resulting in a crappy range, or ( the second and third barrels fire at the same time, regardless of how slowly I pull the trigger.
I tried reinforcing the trigger plate, and did a pretty good job I think. I filled in almost every possible surface (that wasn't used in sliding) with epoxy putty, and added some coat-hangar-wire across the gap between the fourth tank and the trigger (this is where most of the warping takes place).
Anyways, it still isn't enough. The tanks can take extremely high pressures, but the trigger just can't pull them reliably. Short of machining a metal trigger plate, or designing a new trigger system, I'm not sure what to do.

I tested my pump-replaced TetraStrike this morning, and it doesn't seem to have any of these problems. You might have just gotten a lemon (or I suppose mine just hasn't worn down yet). Whichever turns out to be true, they're only 8 dollar blasters, and I would consider buying a second one just for the trigger plate.Not to derail the thread, but since there isn't exactly an abundance of TetraStrike threads available, I wanted to ask a question.

Yeah i had to tell a friend to 'pull harder' to get the fourth barrel to fire. Its quite a stretch. Some putty in front of the trigger to expand the perceived 'stroke' helps though.

This is a problem I hadn't come across. I found that unless you were able to increase the plunger stroke it was impossible to overpump the tetra strike. The short plunger would often cause a pocket of air to force the plunger head back up before the air could be jamed past the check valve.
