Sideways movement is not an issue. We only need to make sure that the pivot is correctly aligned with the hole and the stone will swing in the correct plane. There are no forces acting that would make the stone deviate sideways. The problem we are trying to solve is missing or overshooting the hole in a direction at right angles to the axis of rotation.
