Find a long brass or aluminum tube slightly larger than the servo leads, take a file and notch some teeth in it, then use some needle nose plies and stagger them.

use a regular drill in the light ply root rib, then slowly rotate the tube back and forth, it will go through balsa without cracking it, as long as you don't put too much pressure.

this will work if the halves are not joined.
