Sire P7 5 string, Stringing through Bridge issue

[Michael Anthony]

When I received my sire p7 5 string I noticed the B & E strings had cracks in the winding due to the severe break angle caused by stringing through the body. So I attempted to string through the bridge and discovered that the B string would not fit through the hole without taking a rat tail file to it. I have not done that yet and I am wondering if anyone else has encountered the same problem?

Yup.  Messrs Black & Decker fixed the problem.
