0.012 mm _OUTER_ diameter sounds a bit impossible to me for syringe needle.

If you have the opportunity you may try to get a sample of insect pins of
different size. They are inexpensive, quite hard and can be grinded with a fine
grinding stone to get a sharp edge that may help drilling in aluminim etc.

The drawback of 35 mm film is that it's just, well, 35 mm film. If you are
out for maximum sharpness in your pictures you will get profit from larger
sizes (but who in the world wants a really sharp pinhole photo? ;-) ).

That's why me (who made his first pinholes a bit like you on 35 mm film) has
purchased a semi-rotten Kiev 60 recently via ebay to get some more film area
...

keep on!
