So my solution for the screws was to replace all but the one at the back, which is at an angle, with stainless steel dome headed bolts into some T nuts.
I have done the same for the cover over the battery aperture but with shorter bolts.

Good idea but how well does the plywood shelf now sit and latch down, on top of those bolt heads?

Doug, my shelf sits a little proud anyway because I have put a thin sheet of neoprene foam on the back. Just means I had to slacken off the screws on the latches half a turn

Be careful if you have screws holding the battery cover on. A dealer put a longer screw onto my car, it went into the main positive feed and caused a short with a cable I use to lock on luggage on the rear shelf.
The carpets caught fire but fortunately I saved the car.
