Yeah. Only modify doors for stuff like cat flaps or peepholes. Never for cables even if it seems like a good idea.

The frame around the door is usually a hole already (so it can be adjusted for the door, straight and level as compared to the wall), just need to remove the door trims around the door. Don't drill in the door.

Reply to Is it okay to cut out a small section of a drywall stud? by Wolferesque

If you cut it out it will put a load on the wall (basically hanging on the inside of the wall), so I'd at least try to support it somehow by adding a stud for it on the inside.

But why not just move the cat hole a bit to the right (in the picture) and plaster (and paint etc) up the cuts instead of bothering with the stud? It seems easier.
