You got to score very carefully, that's why I use a needle! Make sure the humidity in the incubator is high now, 65% or more, so they don't dry out. It's o.k. if the hole is biggish, as long as they can breathe in there and stay moist until they're done hatching.

The incubator is right around 65% humidity but it seems as the one isn't doing so well... When I shine the light in there I can see the membrane starting to turn white... I don't want to open the lid but I am afraid the baby will die... I am so lost... Not sure what to do at this point

I tried that method with 2 of them and the egg seems to be too hard... It cracked and now there is a hole the size of the end of my pinky... I am afraid the hole is too big... The other one had a tiny hole but now has its beak completely out of the hole which is now much larger than the one I created

What Method??

Ducks will usually do that, they make a hole and keep making the hole bigger and bigger. Where are your settings at??

Give me more information, where are your settings at? temp, humidity and do you have a fan.  Also what day are you on????

My temp is around 99.5 and humidity around 65%... I am not sure on the day... They have been in the incubator for 15 days but they were in the nest for a while before our neighbor drained their pool and flooded my yard... I had no choice but to take them... But I wasn't exactly sure how long she sat on them... One died yesterday so I opened the egg and it was a fully developed little duckling... I don't want this to happen to the rest

What kind of duck?
 
These are our other two ducks - Ned (Pekin) and Amanda (Magpie). They're having babies soon!
