I had a model a couple weeks ago, that had a screw hole, that I intentionally made too small so I could just screw it in. Had no problems with the torque on the item. And it was only .04" thick. So it stood up very well to the abuse. I'd check the material restrictions Under support/Materials at the top of this page, but I'm pretty sure WSF and heat shouldn't be combined. Perhaps an LED light? and Lastly, look at other post production techniques, but the one that I can remember works well is clear finger nail polish. I have never used it myself, but I read on one that it works well at protecting WSF models.

WSF is difficult to "file down", in my experience. The stuff is wicked strong and somewhat slippery. If you insert a dowel (or pen) into a hole that is too small, this is one way I have seen it crack. If you try to file something down to 1mm, I would guess it would have a good chance of breaking. It puts a lot of stress on it. I have enlarged holes using an electric drill, you might try this.
I've thrown WSF in boiling water will no ill effects. But eventually it will melt, it is just nylon.
