I don't think anyone actually drillls brake pad pins as most all of them are recessed.  If they're recessed and it's a requirement, most of the time, that tech org will let you slide or require you put a dab of silicone (not grease) on the head of the pin to show it's locked down.

CCS only requires oil fill and drain, water fill and drain and oil filter.

BUT

Wiring the whole bike is a pretty good idea.

I have drilled though the recessed brake pin. I have done it on calipers similar to these.

I drilled through the caliper and the bolt. The best chance for breaking a drill is when entering the space in the bolt for the hex (allen) wrench. After drilling I used an R clip, which I then wired.

I could take a picture if you really need to see it.
