You have to use the hardest, most expensive drill bits you can find. Use a drill press when possible, and cutting paste. Use a slow speed and firm pressure. If you use a high speed, too much heat is generated and the steel will harden and blunt the drillbit.

What kind of drill bit is used to drill stainless steel plate and which is coolant used for stainless steel drilling?
My favorite is simply a high speed steel drill bit, running at SLOW speed (slower than you'd run if drilling mild steel) using green goo as a lubricant called "Westlube" made by Westland Products Company. http://www.westlandproducts.com/ In our operation Westlube changed things from 2-3 holes per drill bit to hundreds of holes per drill bit. For stainless, it's purely magic!
