>1. put it on a drill press and run a 3/8 drill through the platter

I briefly worked IT for a federal police agency and that is what they did.

I don't think I'll do that though plus I don't have a metal bit sharp enough. I'd research how to sharpen a metal bit on a grinder. Get sidetracked and look up how to harden metal bits. Then metallurgy and different metal and what exactly is hardening how does it change the crystal structure. Is metal actually a crystal? and so on....

You don't need a special bit for this. Most of a hard drive is made of soft aluminum; a standard drill bit will go right through it.
