There's a tool called a hammer drill that would probably do it.
It rotates the bit and hammers it at the same time.  Just use your
ground rod as a bit.  Make sure your ground rod fits in the chuck
first, of course.  :-)

I used one several years ago to drill some concrete that a
conventional masonry drill would barely scratch and it worked
great.
