Default guage panel repair

I have a 95 288 sunsation. several of the dash panel screws have become stripped and there is not enough glass left to go with a larger screw. due to the amount of glass cut out for the guages. any suggestions as to how to repair this?

Try west systems 404 in ve resin on the surface and if you can get to the back of if just cut some small one inch squares of fiber glass and glass 'em on. Three layers or so is good and just screw into that
