This only happens if the forces are excessive.
The depth of cut on each lip will be less than 8 thou.
The rate of feed is entirely depepndant on how slow you turn the handle.
The flute angle (rake) can be overcome by grinding a flat each lip, as for drilling brass.
This is the way I have done many jobs without the drill pulling out. The last one opening up a hole to 1.25 ".
Reamers are very expensive for a one off job. You could try and get on the Varmit Al's reamer queue, or just buy a 13/64" drill and DIY.
