Don't you have one of those suction cups with the lever on it to make the
vacuum? I got one of eBay for my 2nd GPS (the built-in one doesn't show
speed or height in a very sensible way) for like 5 pounds and it's always
remained stuck on fine.

My TomTom came with a suction cup, which worked 100% of the time.
Until that time I did a trip with my mum, who completely believes that
you have to LICK the cup before sticking it to the windscreen. Wouldn't
believe me no matter how much I tried to tell her that you're not
supposed to do this.
Now it works 14% of the time. The rest, after a few minutes or hours, it
lets go. Fine on a motorway, but as soon as you turn a corner, the [very
expensive] device gets uncerimoniously dumped onto the floor. :-/
I'm wondering if there's some way I could drill it to the dashboard, or
stick it down with tape or something...

Heh. You remember that I live 48 miles from where I work, right?
It's not like you can get the bus to "empty field 26 miles sound of
Coventry". ;-)

Can't you just clean the window and suction cup surface thoroughly? Use
alcohol or something to get rid of the grease.

You can get some pretty strong tapes, but usually they lose their stickyness
at high temperatures (I assume you leave your car out in the sun at some
point in the summer). Screwing it into the dashboard is an option, but it's
going to lose you some re-sale value on your car probably. Maybe there is
some edge or corner that you can use a clamp with? Something like this:
