My take: punch hole for a starter. Cobalt bits. Start with a small bit.....

..which could be 1/8" for example. Drill through. Step up to a 1/4" or try the 3/8", it may work. Slow speed on the variable drill motor but you'll figure out what works best when you start. A bit of oil on the bits as you work can help but you might well live without it. Get new bits from Lowe's or Home Despot.
