I have. Don't like to. Aren't supposed to. Drilling, reaming, tapping not easy on some of the race axles (Strange) because of hardness. If I did, it would be with a TIG. Best bet is to send the back to the manufacturer and have them done for 5/8" stuff. Wheel stud problems over.
If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.

Any of you guys have to put a small weld on the back side ??? Or do you ream out n go to the next size ??  Not something I could ever see myself doing or suggesting, regarding the tack weld. Another option for an upgrade is a 14mm stud, just slightly under 9/16", but increases tensile/clamping by nearly 20% over 1/2", or just go 5/8" and forget about it.
Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.

Why not skip the tack weld and use a thin jam nut on the back side, that can be drilled for safety wire and/or lock-tite?

The Strange screw in 5/8 stud kits come with jams. Red loctite and forget about it. Unless you have an axle with an unusually thick flange.
