Carbon skinning whilst retaining holes?

I have a piece of aluminium which is about 3mm thick, I wish to carbon skin on both sides (front and back). 
The piece has two M6 holes in it which I need to retain once skinned.

How do skin around these holes?
Is it best to skin over the holes and then drill them out once cured or should I try and skin around / through them whilst laying up?

We use PCB cutter bits which seem to work very well.
