I bought a sliding barn door that was the right width but a bit too

The trouble is, I cut off the hardwood at the top of the door that
the roller
assembly screws into and now all that's left is the particle board
interior.
The particle board isn't strong enough to hold the weight of the door
on the
rollers. So... I need to figure out how to attach the rollers to the
top of
the door, with only particle board to screw into. (In retrospect, I
clearly
should have cut extra height off the bottom - too late now.) I'm
wondering if
I drill holes, fill them with epoxy, and then set the screws in place
if that
will be strong enough. Thoughts?

Here is the door for reference:

I'd pilot drill and use #10 x 3-1/2" deck screws and call it a day.

That's cheating. We gotta buy hundreds of dollars worth of new power
tools. Don't you get it?
