Spring steel can usually (noticed I said USUALLY) be drilled by running the
drill very slowly, using plenty of thread cutting oil and keeping a steady
and relentless pressure against the drill bit. If the drill ever makes a
turn without removing metal the steel will instantly case/work harden and
all forward progress will cease. This same system works on stainless steels
that work harden when drilling.
