You can always counterbore the hole, i.e. you don't need such a long
screw, you drill a small (screw clearance size) hole right through the
post and then a much bigger hole (bigger than the size of the screw's
head) say half way through the post.

Very very good idea and pretty much perfect.

Any tips on how big a screw you would use for a 10cm post ?

I wouldnt counterbore myself, it just adds rot vulnerability and is
more work.

How big? 6"
