Many years ago I was involved in a laser hole driller project that was intended to dill the very fine cooling holes (of micron size) in the very tough exhaust turbine blades of military jet engines.

To get the laser beam down so small only required a lens. That not only reduced the spot size, it dramatically increased the energy density. Something pretty simple might enable you to do much better than forty thou tracks.
