I can see using the epoxy but I have to marvel at the wisdom of drilling
the holes, already slightly loose, .031 larger than they already are. Is
this to give the epoxy room to swell?

Not really.

I have found that stronger joint are formed when thickened epoxy is used
and joints aren't starved.

If this were my job, would probably add a little Cab-O-Sil (fumed
silica) to the epoxy to thicken it, then pour some in the hole and push
the pin in allowing the epoxy to ooze totally around the pin.

BTW, why would epoxy swell?
