Obviously I was as gentle as I could and was enlarging the hole by touching the sides being careful to keep it even. At the beginning I was worried about the finish if it`s gonna come off or something but no, everything was fine, and the job was done within minutes.

But those tiny chips will be easily covered by pot`s washer as well as knob itself, so I wouldn`t be worried too much. I guess it depends on the type of the finish and paint used, one might snap off more easily than the other.
