I second this suggestion and the advice about a rigid set up. I will add
that you might have good luck with a stub length carbide tipped drill as
this will give you a little wiggle room and they do not snap as easily as
the solid carbide (cheaper too).

at Mcmaster Carr for an example.

When drilling you need to run a bit faster than with HSS in regular steel
and it is also important not to let the bit drag or bounce.
