The biggest help I've found to assist drilling stainless, particularly thin plate (which is tue worst stuff to drill) is having a wide point angle on the drill (a nice flat end) by grinding it myself.
Yes slow and sharp helps, the point angle makes the most difference IMO.
I have zillions of used drill bits in a tray that weighs about half a hundredweight so it never worries me doctoring one to suit the job in hand, I guess If you had a nice case of swanky bits you would be less keen to do such things.
