Anybody have any insight on modifying the soldiworks hole type descriptions?

Problem I am having is, I am trying to modify my hole callouts to read "For xxx SHCS".
Right now my hole callout text reads,
"COUNTERBORE-THRU=<MOD-DIAM> <hw-thruholedia> <hw-thru>;\
<HOLE-SPOT><MOD-DIAM> <hw-cbdia> <HOLE-DEPTH> <hw-cbdepth>;\
FOR <hw-fstsze> SHCS"

Which reads fine, until I use a c'bore hole that is not for a SHCS.

I would like it to read,
COUNTERBORE-THRU=<MOD-DIAM> <hw-thruholedia> <hw-thru>;\
<HOLE-SPOT><MOD-DIAM> <hw-cbdia> <HOLE-DEPTH> <hw-cbdepth>;\
FOR <hw-fstsze> <hw-fsttyp>"

The issue with this is that the solidworks hole type is listed as "Socket Head Cap Screw" for standard holes, and "Socket Head Cap Screw - ANSI B18.3.1.M" for the metric bolts.

Basically I just need a way to edit the solidworks hole wizard "type" names. Hoping that somebody here has dealt with this before.
