Various places have resharpened, retired from production use, carbide bits. One example (among many) at

Carbide is kind of brittle, though. I usually go with high speed steel, which are a bit more forgiving of hand-held drilling. (No pun intended there. Really!). MicroMark is my usual toy store, er ah, go-to place for things like that. Sets available

Solid carbide PCB drills in sizes to #80 (0.0135) 1/8 shank. Also HHS steel, Black, TiN in sets #61 to #80 (cheap about $10), #1 to #60, A to Z, fractions drills and metric drills.

The carbide drills are expensive, HSS is the way to go for a few boards.

how about this:
