Steve,
I have ran into this before, oh the fun it was. The funny thing about it was
the people out on the line (production workers) thought they would fix this
problem on their own. What they did was took their little scribe out of their
tool box and placed into the barrel and with just a little twist opened the
hole. Now, wasn't that smart!!!! When I seen that I just about flipped. So,
what I came up with is triming the diode lead just enough to where I could
attach another lead (smaller diameter) and hook together. Of course don't
forget to solder the attached area.  I pretty much followed IPC 610 wire spec
(not sure what page). Since the company I was working for was a contract
manufacturer I had to get this blessed by the customer, they were pretty
pleased. Also, I have seen people file the leads and re tin. Well, I hope this
helps
