It's possible that the heat from the drilling slightly melted the tiny particles of glass. Maybe pour boiling water into the bottle to make them slightly melt and separate from the bottom?

Quite simple actually, put it in the dishwasher with white vinegar. Works great.

Put some dry rice in the bottle and plug both top and bottom holes with your fingers or a towel. Shake, drain, and rinse. Be sure to drain into a sieve.

Add some salt to the water when rinsing, it provides a scrubbing action without being abrasive. Shake well, then rinse with just water.

Try rinsing it with a bit of baking soda and a tablespoon of vinegar, (it will foam), then rinse out with water.

Try using nozzle from an air hose before you add any liquid to the bottle.

I wonder if spraying the inside with non stick cooking spray would work. It would keep it from fusing to the glass so well, and rinse clean with some soapy water, and perhaps do the uncooked rice as a scour agent. BTW would love to see the finished product!

Try a bottle brush that you use to clean baby bottles. They are meant to go into a small openings and are usually flexible enough to bend and get around the sides. Another way is to put uncooked rice into the container and shake it around with hot/warm water and it should help dislodge the residue and come out pretty easily.
