GO SLOW! It will take forever, but it should work. Diamond drill bits + running water over the glass is your best bet.
when i was drilling my bong, i filled it with water too while holding it under the faucet thereafter. that way theres water on both sides of the future hole. it ended up being a near perfect hole in the end after grinding down the inner edges.
buy a glass or tile drill bit for like 10 bucks. put the glass in a tub of cold water. make the drill go fast, but push into it slowly. maybe wear gloves if it shatters. good luck.
or fill it with sand to absorb shock while running water or pouring water over it and the drill bit because both get very hot after long drilling.
