On my OBX, memorymoog, and P5 I used a drill bit to make a pilot
hole, then used a uni-bit. There's no electronics in the bottom
of the P5 so that wasn't a problem, but the OBX was a bit tricky.
I ended up using plastic and masking off around the area to be
drilled. That worked fairly well. If you're paranoid use an
air compressor or canned air to blow off any metal filings or
dust before powering up the unit.

Here's a unibit:

Here's an example of the work:
