I can vouch for the needle file technique.
We were having the same issue with a DiPinto Mach IV. Went ahead and filed the holes down a little bit.
That was two months ago. No string snappage yet.

I have never had any of these problems. But then I don't mash on my strings either. I need to get more aggressive!
