Sunset, I don't do guns either but I have "touched up" taps to my satisfaction, still, I don't think I'd try a #8 or smaller.
Also, even if you have one of those "today" model dentist drills you can't turn a carbon steel tap into an HSS one, Just my take.
How expensive can an 8-40 HSS tap be? (once you find it).
