It's just my opinion but I think your bead release is too thin.
If the glass sticks to the wire then it came into physical contact with the wire while it was molten and won't come off.
You might be able to drill the metal out but I think you would break a lot of bits on a lot of beads trying it.
Stir it well, don't use softened water from the tap when it dries out and make sure there is not any oil left from manufacturing the wire.
After that I would suggest a different bead release brand.
You could be pushing the limits of how small the hole can be with out having to make a marble and drill it out.
The methods that seed bead manufacturers use to make those teeny tiny holes don't translate well to the home workbench.
