Thanks for all the help.
The good news: I have X-acto knives, drills, masking tape, and the sandpaper dremel bit already on hand. I may even have a hole saw, too. I'll have to go down and look through my stuff. That means I won't have to buy a specialized tool for a one-off job.

Close enough. it's a wild cherry/mahogany laminate. Your point is taken, though. I want to try to minimize any scarring inside or outside. I have some veneer lying around I could use as a backing.
As far as just re-mounting the Micro-EQ plate back on the guitar, I considered that, but it's any ugly little spud. The soundport would look better.
Here's what it looks like with the EQ removed...
The hole is not much larger than a guitar pick. I'd have to cut away enough to get past those screw holes anyway.
I'm considering cutting out the indentation marked left by the mounting plate. You can see it on the pic.
I never thought of a purfling ring before now. I'll look into that.
