Not convinced on the boiling acrylic theory as it would first go thick and gooey as it melted and think that the drill would have given up the ghost before it boiled. One possible answer could be a not too sharp drill being forced through the material too quickly and/or the possibility of a metric drill being used with an imperial tube.

What pen was being made and what drill were you using?
