Please tell me any chemical or acid is useful to drill holes in all type of stones by eating the stone.

You won't be able to drill a clean hole, anythign that dissolves downwards will also dissolve outwards.

Besides, you would have to find something that dissolved the rock. While most acids will dissolve limestone, most rocks are silicates, and very difficult to dissolve.
