If you're digging through ice, you can probably drill through the crust to the underlying ocean by just melting your way through and relying on water pressure to prevent your hole from collapsing. That doesn't work on Earth because our instruments don't like liquid rock and other substances we can fill the hole with have much lower density than rock, but it shouldn't be much of a problem on Titan (you'll need continual energy to prevent it from freezing up again, but not very much, ice isn't a terribly good thermal conductor).
