Drill holes in sanitary plastic

I have bought a simple separett for my small summer cottage. It is prepared for installation of both a ventilation via a fan out through the back of the toilet through the facade (wood) and for urine through the bottom of the toilet. Unfortunately, I can't use the conical elevation at the bottom because the drain I need to install the toilet over is about 30 cm further back. So I need to drill a hole in the plastic where it's not intended to be drilled. I have test-drilled in some plastic items with the drill I bought that can be adjusted to the required size, but the plastic always cracks in a star pattern around the drill hole. It is possible that the sanitary plastic won't behave that way, but I only have "one shot." Any tips on how to avoid this? Is there "cutting oil" for drilling in plastic? Or is it enough with the tension of, for example, covering the area with duct tape before drilling? Grateful for tips from those who have done something similar.

Thank you for all the tips! I think I'll start with the kit from Jula and test drill in a similar material first to get the technique right.
