Buy a nice new carbide bit for it.
Carbide in hand tools is asking for trouble. It's a great material for cutting tools but if everything isn't locked down it's pretty unforgiving and you'll be snapping your $50 drill bit in the blink of an eye. Titanium doesn't require carbide by any means, especially for just a couple holes. A center drill is perfect for holes in round tubes.
