Tiny holes in my peppers too this year, never had them before. It's not slugs ...they aren't that neat,my peppers are on rough wooden staging in green house,no slugs up there. Tomatoes are fine.
I have exactly the same on my pepper plants in my greenhouse, and wondered if it's a type of flea beetle causing the damage ? I don't recall having this problem before.
I had the same problem last year and now see 2 fruit affected this year. Neatly drilled holes - usually at the top of the fruit. Never found the culprit.
Normally I agree slugs or small snails, but at my SD's greenhouse I found very small green caterpillars on the back of the leaves. I rubbed them off but they were so small I can't be sure I got them all.
Were the peppers edible @philippasmith2 , or should l cut my losses ?
I just cut away the area around the hole and use the rest. So far, I've only ever found 1 hole per fruit. I'ts annoying when they are just starting to ripen ! Not slugs/snails as they tend to "graze" rather then "drill". As per @Allotment Boy, I find small caterpillars on the leaves but they are extremely hard to spot as they tend to mimic the leaf veins. Peppers are normally in GH but I have spotted the Cabbage whites in there on occasion so could be them. Doesn't explain the holes tho.

Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit.
Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.
