In cases like this, I make a custom stop to prevent the drill being "sucked down" into the softer material below. I take a dowel a bit larger than the drill bit I am going to use and drill a hole down the center of it. The dowel is then cut to length so that when it is slid onto the drill bit, the drill protrudes only the depth of the hole I want to drill - in this case, the thickness of the plate. Low tech, cheap solution, consistent results. Plus, the wood will not mark up the finish on the plate.
