Willie,
Drilling stainless sheet is a pain regardless of what you use. If the holes aren't too far from the edge of the sheet, it might be worth your time to make a punch. Either use an off the shelf punch and die, or make them yourself out of O1, then all you need is a couple of pieces of bar stock spaced apart to hold them and some means of retracting the punch.
