You're not thinking ambitiously enough.

When I modified the bar on my S2000, one of the changes was to enlarge the flat area by machining away part of the bar. This kind of work is time consuming though, so unless you have your own lathe, it will cost more than just buying an off-the-shelf bar.

Aftermarket front sway bar endlinks can be changed under SCCA Stock class rules, but if you drill more holes, you'll still want to machine the bar to give then a flat surface to mate against.
