Maybe see what the coating is made of and ask on here just to be positive. Maybe there's a way to seal them so even if there's some contaminate used in the coating, you can prevent it with sealant. I'd say with the right research and tools, it would work. As for the research and tools, others are much stronger. I am the ancient rotten handled screwdriver and you should try a cordless drill. Lol. Throwing my two cents in.
