Two ways: use a seed bead at either end of the bugle (in the same stitch), so that the line rests against the seed bead instead of the bugle, and/or use Japanese bugle beads. I use Miyuki or Toho bugle beads and have had no problems.
If you already have the bugle beads, the seed bead idea is your best bet.

What would you use to file the edges?
Thank you Roxan :-)

I buy cheap emery boards from American Science and Surplus (sciplus.com) to use for projects such as this.
