youd probably need a 1/2" and you have a 3/8" drive, but yes,i would pilot hole in stages until I hit desired hole diameter.

Ya ive got a 1/2 inch and 3/8 inch drill, the 1/2 inch doesnt have enough power to just start with the 7/8 bit so ill start with smaller and work my way up, thank you

You can buy a unibit which is a stepped drill bit or a 7/8 hole saw.
