I believe that Grade 8 fasteners are in the RC 33 range. You should be
able to drill them with normal high speed drills.
It might be advisable to look up the proper cutting speed and not
exceed it :-)

I probably would proceed as if it were 4130 at 39 Rc

I looked at the subject and thought, what a naive, inexperienced
question. Of course they can be drilled. And then I looked closer and
it was me in 2007 asking this question .

Yeah, this thread was resurrected by "sibtaint" just so he could use it

You're questions are just as naive and clueless today. No growth.

Drilling Grade 8 bolts
 

I've drilled High grade HSS+Colbolt+MM. With a solid carbide drill.
It was Mo-Max cutter. I was making a forming bit for my metal lathe.

The trick is to have a solid and firm hold. Drill press.
Drive the drill in with firm pressure and when the drill gets
red hot - and the spot on the metal does - the drill goes through
it nicely. I left the drill in the chuck afterwards - I didn't
want to shatter it nor melt something.

It was a 1/8" drill. Carbide comes in all sizes.
