I know lots of people don't want to open up walls and are afraid to patch. Sometimes, that's the easiest solution. Getting a wire through a blind, small hole is difficult and frustrating. A hold saw will and should not screw up the lath behind there because of the blocking. Small patch and be done with it in couple hours. If you must drill through, get a augur bit and start drilling at an angle and straighten it as the bits pulls you through. That's if you have the room or long enough bit to do it. Many times, and I assume a wire is coming through the top plates to avoid patching?
