I remember the first time I tried drilling a bunch of holes through a curved skidplate that I thought was nice, soft aluminum. By the time I realized it was stainless steel I had wrecked the drill bits, flattened the punch, and run out of patience. That's when I discovered the joy of using a plasma cutter to make round(ish) holes with zero effort.
Actually quite a few cutting oils out there that help things along.
Part of what I do for a living, so I have tried more than I ever wanted to.
Right tools, drills, bits, fluids, can help.
But usually still takes some muscle and effort.
Remember adding trailer hitch to my 1980 Bronco years ago.
That was miserable drilling.
