I think the proper answer is no, theyre not intended for anything
nearly that big, but they generally manage to get it done. You may
need to go light on pressure, and be patient. With a hard material
maybe very patient indeed: youre probably drilling cement rather than
plaster, or something similarly hard.

Well, at least youll get the chance to seal the sheets afterwards to
stop any further dust dropping off.

Since I'm not sure what your 5mm is, really you should commission an
expert to come analyse it and see if its safe to drill first. I
believe thats the correct procedure anyway.
