Why not just go to Home Depot etc and buy an adjustable automatic center punch?

You can find them cheap at Harbor Freight too. Probably will have to grind down the end so it's not so sharp, otherwise it will shatter the glass. I haven't tried this but maybe you could get a small nut for a size 6 or 8 machine screw and thread a rubber band through it and use it like a slingshot to make your chip.
