    What I have found useful is to back the piece being drilled with
    another fairly hard surface. As to drill speed...whether you like it
    slow or fast its helpful to speed up when you near the end of the
    hole. 

    Half a millimeter is a small drill, if you can find a way to use a
    larger diameter that will surely help too.
