Just a little bit makes a lot more work.

Somehow, I tried to use a 23/32 bit instead of 3/8ths. Then, stuck two screws in the holes. Kind of wondering why I didn’t just go get the slightly larger bit which would have been the right size. Cheap to recover but inconvenient and time consuming to get those screws out. Next time ...

I don't really understand your post but 13/32" is the correct size clearance hole for a 3/8" bolt. Good assembly practice dictates a 32nd over the nominal size for easy installation and removal.

Certainly looks like there is a typo somewhere in the original post...

Yep, a typo. The point was one size too small.

If’n I need a 3/8’s hole, I use a 3/8’s bit and give her a little waller.

Yes. Perhaps the OP meant to post 23/64ths
