You can fill the honeycombs around the hole with a mixture of resin and a compression resistant filler material like glass bubbles, cotton, ground glass or carbon fibers etc., effectively creating a crush resistant insert which bonds to the surface layers. Or you can glue a few small glass or carbon tubes into the honeycomb. Very pressure and crush resistant.
