the more you drill the ski, the weaker it becomes.

^correct. however, the structural integrity of the ski isn't compromised until it's been drilled 3-4 times. i had old teneighties that i used and abused for 3 seasons with no problems and they were drilled 4 times. more than 3-4 drillings, though, and you're looking at potential binding ripouts and a weak point in the ski where all the holes are.
my level of radness... it just can't... be quantified.

Plug'em and drill. Redrilling once won't harm anything.

it will just weaken them a little bit but only but them if they have only been drilled once, after that they can become waterlogged and very weak making them very vulnerable to snappage.
