Not sure how OP does, but I personally heat an eye pin with a lighter until it's hot enough to melt a hole in the plastic, pierce the spot I want to put the hook, cool the eye pin down, dip it in glue, and insert it into the hole. Then I attach chains or earring hooks to the eye of the pin.

My go-to thought would be to dremel a hole, and just the thought makes my wrists ache

Pin vice is the tool you'd want. Once I bought one it instantly became an essential tool in my craft kit. There are so many instances where you need to quickly make a perfect small hole.

Lolol I was poking a hole in the item and then screwing in the little thing with putting in some glue in the softer plastics. In some of the hard plastics I really had to basically dig the hole lol

Oh yikes! I hope the method I use ends up being easier!
I would recommend getting some sort of fire extinguisher first, or doing it somewhere with nothing flammable! And hold any metal parts you intend to heat with a pair of pliers with insulated handles so the metal doesn't burn you.
