This would be my choice. I'd grind it to match the taper of the candles
base as needed.

That, including the taper, is the way I've seen it handled. Haven't done
it myself, but some turners that command high prices for their
candlesticks do it that way. Grinding down a spade bit isn't very
difficult.
