I an thinking, the end of the speedo cable, did you sharpen it, make it more drill like, or perhaps like a spade drill ? So it can actually cut..
Get the part to the corner with a drill...
 I am thinking if you had a thick piece of  copper wire, sharpened.. About 1/2 the hole diameter...it may start bending while cutting, and follow around the corner. Turn slowly.

I know that cable 'inner' is strong,possibly use a large dia. cable 'inner' from another application like an automobile clutch cable of the correct dia. to fit inside that bend and maybe solder the end of it first..

The speedo cable had a rounded point to the end, in combination with the MEK solution it worked.  I was thinking of sharpening it but it worked as is, probably would have been quicker if sharpened.  Most likely attempting to sharpen a twisted cable would have frayed it.
