They do make push in grease zerks. You need to use a socket and a hammer to beat them in.

As Kevin points out they are available. I tend to re-thread problem fittings to a standard size, being careful to prevent chips from getting into the bearing. There are many sizes of threads, from 1/8" pipe, on down to M6X1. JimN
That's a big improvement, but how do you keep the chips out of the hole, particularly if you also have to drill it to the appropriate root diameter before you thread it. I suppose you could pack some cotton down in there first. I've also got some pressed in fittings I'd like to get out to do just that. Any tricks on getting them out?

The obvious is to disassemble. (I know)
Some are easy because they lead into a cavity, and can have a piece of non directional fiber cloth (tyvek, or dryer softener cloth, or baby wipes) used to "pack" the hole.
TIght ones can be done pretty well with a spray of brake Kleen or= to get out the residuals. JimN

Pack the flutes of the drill bit with gun grease before drilling. You may need to clean off the grease and reapply it a couple of times but the grease will catch the chips as they are formed.
