I think either the presence or absence of any vibration at this point is not germaine since that is simply a collateral symptom anyhow. The real hazard is a) possibly unpredictable handling & b) strut vulnerability i.e. replacement cost/time.
I am not familiar with the UrS platform at all but IIRC, someone may have wrote that drilling the strut tube base right on centre in situ was on C-chassis blocked by some particular obstruction and perhaps in your case, I have no idea. I would not want to drill in situ; and I would not drill off centre.
Perhaps what you may have to weigh drilling in situ against is, even if you haven't blown one or both dampers, are you confident you can dry out both sufficiently internally with new little holes now, that no further damage will accrue simply due to the water's possibly lingering presence?
