microns, the beam of a usual red laser has to converge to and diverge from
the waist at something like 200 milliradians. This means the focal length
of the lens should be not much more than 5 times the diameter of the beam
going into the lens.

the hole with a commercial laser pointer. You might do better with a
small HeNe laser. Laser pointers have poor beam quality.
Green laser pointers have decent beam quality. This should work, but
precise positioning will be the difficult part.
Particularly given the crummy mounting of the laser board inside the pen body.
