Default Moving center drilled hole

Using an electric hand drill and a suitable sized drill bit, start the
drill operation in the hole, holding the drill axis at an angle towards
the desired coordinates. As the point of the drill crosses the
coordinates, slowly adjust the axis of the drill path back towards
perpendicular. Drill a short distance and your done. This technique
requires good H/I coordination and experience drilling accurately by hand.

to take a dead center and the hole comes out a bit off
center. How would you go about 'moving' the hole
back to center?
