Along these lines, have you perhaps thought about using a 45 degree elbow fitting? Maybe cut one side of the fitting such that it sits fairly flush with the main tube, and then you have the bend in the fitting that could give you the angle upward you're looking for. Might at least make it easier in the sense that you'd only need to make straight holes in the main tube and just have to tinker with the single fitting, rather than trying to modify both. Not sure that makes any sense. I can picture it in my head, just not sure if I'm explaining it very well.
