Don't be scared to drill if you need to. As long as you seal the hole when your done, there is nothing wrong with this.

Be sure to insulate the wire with a rubber gromet so it doesn't rub and wear our the wire's insulation and cause a short.

If your smart enough to install an inline fuse between the battery & the fire wall, it will blow it. If not, if could do all kinds of damage, to what exactly? I'm not sure. It depends on where the wire goes.
