When drilling and placing screws or bolts thru carpet I use two tools. First I locate the hole, or where I want to drill a hole, with a scratch awl tool. Then I take my soldering iron with a conical point tip that I only use for this purpose to open up the hole. This will melt thru the carpet and "seal" the perimeter of the hole preventing it from unraveling or catching on a drill bit or screw thread.
