Yes, with care and patience.  Get one of those cheap miniature diamond burr 
sets from HF and grind away the glass.  Don't try to hurry it, you don't want 
the glass to get too hot (which can break it).  You can also spray a bit of 
water to help keep it cool.  If your Dremel has a speed adjustment, slow it 
down somewhat (again to reduce heat buildup).

But note that the "through hole" studs have a necked-down section, to help them 
clear the edge of the glass.  If the edge is only partially obscuring the hole, 
you might not have to grind.
