I have drilled and tapped an 8 ball, it was a long time ago but I don't remember having any problems.

Pool balls are made of a weird acrylic type material that is very hard. They are solid all the way through, at least the ones we have broken are.

I would just drill it and glue a threaded insert in it. I think just cutting threads, they will strip out easily.

I drilled and tapped an 8-Ball for my sisters Austin Mini 8 years ago. It is still going strong and has been shifted hard thousands of times.

You could strip it if you tried no doubt, but its not like you pull up on a shift lever.
