Bikes: '96 Litespeed Catalyst, '05 Litespeed Firenze, '06 Litespeed Tuscany, '20 Surly Midnight Special, All are 3x10. It is hilly around here!

Your LBS should not drill mounting holes in your current fork blades and is hopefully not foolish enough to offer to do so. Fork blade threaded mounts are brazed on bosses that are thick enough to have proper thread depth and strong enough to reenforce the fork blade where they are applied So, either get a replacement fork with the proper bosses or, as dsbrantjr recommended, get P-clamps and use them.
