First drill two 1/8" holes as shown. Chamfer the edges with a larger drill bit. Then drill through those two holes with a smaller bit. The smaller bit will have no problems with the angle, and you can do dozens of nuts with the same bit. Smaller bit, high RPM low feed pressure.

Let me restate the question.

Running and twisting the wire is simple enough.  How do you get that tiny hole through the side of a 12 or 13mm nut?
With as many tiny drill bits as I've broken, it would be easier and cheaper to just buy them if they are available
someplace.
