Missing the timing: then clause
Drill Warrior uses a ‘then’ effect; Bottomless Trap Hole cannot activate.
Drill Warrior’s effect reads: “Special Summon this card, then add 1 monster from your GY to your hand.” The last thing to happen is adding a card to the hand, so Bottomless Trap Hole cannot be activated.

Rulings

edisonformat.net The ①: ● ATK remains halved until Drill leaves the field or is flipped face-down. ● The ②: ● Discarding is part of the effect, not a cost. ● If "Book of Moon" is chained, you still discard 1 card, and this card is still banished. ● If "Raigeki Break" is chained, you still discard 1 card, but this card is not banished. ● A discarded "Peten the Dark Clown" will not miss its timing. You can read more about that here: https://edisonformat.net/rules/compendium/conjunctions The ③: ● This card is always Summoned to its owner's field (even if it was banished from the other player's field). ● If you control 5 monsters, Drill is sent to GY instead of being Summoned (no card is added to the hand). ● If you add a monster to your hand, “add 1 monster” happens after “Special Summon this card”, so cards like Torrential Tribute will have incorrect activation timing. Read more about that here: https://edisonformat.net/rules/compendium/missing-the-timing edisonformat.com (1) Once per turn, during your Main Phase, you can halve this card’s ATK (permanently). If you do, it can attack your opponent directly this turn. (2) Once per turn, during your Main Phase, you can discard 1 card and remove this card from play. (3) During your next Standby Phase, Special Summon this card, if removed by this effect. Then, add 1 Monster Card from your Graveyard to your hand. The (1) Ignition Effect does not target this card. This card's ATK is halved when the effect resolves. This is not a cost. The (2) Ignition Effect activates & resolves on the field. Discard 1 card (of your choice) when this effect resolves. This is not a cost. Discarding 1 card and banishing this card occur simultaneously Monsters with optional Trigger Effects (ex: "Peten the Dark Clown") do not miss the timing. This card is still banished if flipped face-down (by "Book of Moon"), you still discard 1 card [REF]]. If cards cannot be banished when this effect resolves, you still discard 1 card. If this card leaves the field before this effect resolves, you still discard 1 card [REF]]. If you cannot discard a card when resolves this effect, this card is not removed from play [REF]]. The (3) mandatory Trigger Effect resolves sequentially. FIRST: Special Summon "Drill Warrior", THEN: add a Monster from your Graveyard to your hand. This effect only activates if "Drill Warrior" was removed from play by its (2) Ignition Effect. This effect does not target a monster in the Graveyard. It is not negated by "Necrovalley". This effect activates / resolves removed from play. It is not negated by "Skill Drain" [REF]]. This effect will start a chain at any point during the Standby Phase. If 2+ copies of "Drill Warrior" are removed from play, activate & resolve each in separate Chains. This effect activates even if no monsters are in your Graveyard. "Drill Warrior" is still Summoned. If this effect resolves while your Monster Card Zones are all occupied, the banished "Drill Warrior" is sent to the Graveyard, and you do not add a monster from the Graveyard to your hand [REF]]. If this effect is negated (by "Royal Oppression"), "Drill Warrior" remains removed from play and cannot activate this effect again [REF1], [REF2]. VS. "Torrential Tribute": If "Drill Warrior" adds a monster from the Graveyard to the hand, then "Torrential Tribute" cannot activate. "Torrential Tribute" can activate if a monster cannot be added.
