If not you could carefully drill the hole a little deeper. After all, it looks like we are only talking about a quarter to a half inch at most. It's a fair looking cekah solas hilt and i see no reason to change it if you don't have to or really want to.
The sheath is indeed nothing cowrite home about, though you did choose to show us the back side of it rather than the front. I would be more inclined to change that rather than the hilt, though new sheaths are harder and more expensive to come by.

Thanks for the info, I will check.
