If you really wanted to get around that it wouldn't be that crazy to tilt the head for one pass to get the process rolling.
Buying the $20 collet holder or using a dividing head (which is a fairly standard piece of manual equipment) is certainly easier though.
A basic milling machine w/ no extras can do a lot of things many people assume aren't possible if some basic math is used (which people often overlook and consider cleverness).
