Drilled out a ton of holes on my 6061 this week for weight reduction on my DIY sticks. I made one stick out of spare 6061 without drilling.
Set both up on tree at like 3 feet and jumped up and down. Couldn’t tell a difference between either.
Definitely will be curious about long term but I’m pretty certain you could drill out some of LW stick without compromising function of aluminum

I did it with an API I intended to use for one-stick climbing. For the amount of time (hours) and energy spent, the weight reduction wasn't really worth it.
