I'd go with this option.
A 1/2" slot drill will do the trick.
The problem with a boring bar would be getting into the centre of the bottom of such a small hole.

I searched ebay and found micro boring bars for $15 shipped, and they're carbide as well.

Cheap carbide is cheap carbide. It can rarely (if ever) be well sharpened. Well hardened and tempered tool steel is (almost always) superior to carbide for this type of cutter.
