    Hi:
    You could drill (undersize)to correct depth first, and then make a very small boring bar out of HSS.

    regards

    Maybe find a tapered pin or Morse taper reamer that would work for you. A Bridge & Boiler reamer is another possibility.

    Edit:
    Book on making reamers if you care to go that route.

    If you do try a boring bar carbide would be better then HSS at that depth ratio, you have the advantage in that the bar could be tapered. Use shorter bars for most of the job.
