If gravel boards are anything like the posts they hang out with I think stitch drilling wont harm them.

My method would be to neatly stitch drill a round shape (so there aren't any right angles/corners to crack) using a fairly small bit - maybe 5mm. Then after go round with an >8mm bit which should hopefully join most of the holes to an effective cut. Then find something like a block of wood about the size of the hole, line it up with the bit being removed and give it one swift proper whack.

It'll be quite a lot of effort, so I'd question if the hedgehogs are really worth it. Do you know for sure it's an access route?

That's a bit like saying there is no point building a bridge across a river as nobody crosses the river there.

I know for sure that it's not at the moment because for the last few years there's been a new fence alongside the chain link fence that's been there for years. But I know there are hedgehogs in the area and I'd like to make the garden accessible to them so they can come in if they want to.

Exactly.
Why build safe cycling lanes, no one cycles anyway?
Maybe @tbc just wants some cute friends that eat his slugs?
