I would NOT drill any holes in the pulley. Doing this might introduce stress risers that could encourage it to fracture.

The pulley normally fits snug but loose enough so that you can slide it and turn it on the crank (by hand). There may be some rust or varnish (invisible) on the metal -- try scrubbing the crank and the hole in the pulley using fine steel wool and then wash it using a solvent, such as carb cleaner.

After you THOROUGHLY clean any residue from the crank, lubricate mating surfaces with engine oil and reassemble.

It's possible that one of the surfaces or edges became "dinged" and a microscopic ridge is causing inteference, hence tightness. Inspect for this.
