Its very probably going to melt and fling hot plastic about
Drilling with a hi-speed motor drill has a similar effect.
Try it out on a test piece first if you have one.
a variable speed dremel and a tooth bit or cone grinder might
be more controllable. You could melt the hole with a
hot soldering iron and then clean it up with machine
tool afterwards.
good luck - et us know what happens
