If the brass is Lapua (made by Lapua) the best way to simplify that step is to omit it. Lapua cases won't have brass shavings around the flash holes... 
Yep...get a better tool. I prefer one that's not universal...downside is you have to buy the pilots for each caliber.

Skip it.... Lapua brass is top quality and doesnt need it really (if new). You should be fine for a few reloading cycles as well.
As Dan said Lapua doesn't need it. I use the Lyman tool on other brass and find it simple to use. I've never thought it was a pain in the ass. I am a mechanic by trade so working with tools is natural to me though. Your mileage obviously did vary.
The brass is hornady. The issue is lining up the tool so the drill end finds the centre of the flash hole
The Lyman is universal. If you do use the tool, you just have to get a feel for it. Mine is on one of my rcbs case prep stations. It doesn't always seat in the flash hole instantly, you have to come straight down on top of it.
You have to put it in straight and it will hit the hole 100% of the time.
