Replacing after 1250 miles on the last ones is starting to take up too much of my time.

Ben,
I feel your pain!  My "new" struts lasted about that long before they crapped out. I'm not sure you could make a hole that wasn't obvious...you might just try compressing the shaft and then rotate it multiple times and hope any imperfections on the shaft surface tear into the seal(s).
