I've lived in stucco homes for 34 years and I don't think there's any way to put a nail into the stucco without chipping it. It can always be repaired, but then you'll have to paint where you've patched.

I'm not sure how those that decorate homes (professional companies) hang the lights. Maybe it's time to take a golf cart ride around the neighborhoods and take a look at how it's done on local homes.
