Regulator on the Raduino can be mounted on the other side of the board, fits perfectly: ?Clip the 3 leads close to the board. ?Unsolder the stubs remaining in the board one by one and pull them out with a needle nose pliers. ?Use solder wick to clean out the holes, maybe blow through them. ?Mount the regulator on the other side of the board, it can lay flat to the board and could even solder the tab to the copper ground plane if you want something of a heat sink. ? ?
You don't really have to clean the solder out of the three holes, sufficient to just lay the leads flat on top of the holes and solder them into place.

Does someone have instructions on how to get that regulator moved out of the way so I can fit this thing in a small case like this??
