Oiling the bore won't make any difference as you're still at the mercy of surface tension and if anything, a well oiled bore will cause larger water droplets to form and run into toneholes. You ideally need something to break the surface tension so water will collect and run out instead of forming droplets. A weak detergent solution can do this, but at the detriment of the bore oil as detergent will break down oils.
