I like your approach for the front screw - it's normally a screw, so technically if I understand it correctly you're replacing the screw with a bolt, bolted (permanently) to the body and then just threading a nut on from underneath. I will do that in my good car next time I get in there - all stainless parts should last indefinitely. I know many here will weld a nut on from the inside, but I'm not set up to weld, so it was just not a viable option for me, so I reused the screw last time...
In this winter car, it is hopeless, short of drilling a new hole... I think the last guy to do this may have done the welded nut trick, but it is so rusted that it is completely unidentifiable, let alone operable, and if it is a bolt threading in from below, there is absolutely no head identifiable - it's completely smooth and flat! I'd have to drill it or weld to it... maybe I'll just stick a magnet in there and let it all rust together.
