Rather than dimpling, how about building up the area around each stud 
and just cut a countersinked area at each stud into the thicker metal? 
You might want to also relieve the back of the area on the bottom of 
each stud hole just a bit to not have binding.

Seems easier, but you won't have to buy new tools,,,,a plus and a minus!\

Peace,
Pat
