I think G84 should work with a floating tap holder. You might have to slow the RPM down or program the hole bottom short to accommodate any coasting to extra depth that a floating holder will do. This would still be better than programing each move. Try it out on a piece of pine 2 x 4 to test it before you break a tap in a good part.
