Advice on drilling grip holes in gravity picks please!

Legionreturns

I bought a couple of these a while back and I've found them much easier to keep stable compared to the more standard picks. When I ordered them I chose the ellipse grip hole option but received them without grip holes. I've only once had a problem and whilst the vendor has offered to replace them it seems silly and time consuming to send them back just for this. 

By pick standards, they are quite expensive though so before attacking them with a drill I just wanted to check if anyone had done similar?

I've drilled number plates before, tape on both sides and put it on a wood block etc. Am I safe to proceed?

Is it worth the risk of cocking it up? Send em back....

How many picks did you get?
You could just score the surface instead

I just bought a couple, it's more the hassle of not having them while I wait for them to come back to be honest

I'm of the "let's see what happens" train of thought. I'd have sacrificed one already, it's only acrylic.
