Default Repairing old Slide Projector

I have just had my old Hanimex 1500RF slide projector out to view some old
35mm slides and had to fix it.
The top casing is held onto the base by about 6 screws that screw up into
moulded pillars in the top casing. Most of these have split and no lionger
can accept a screw.

I am left wondering how to keep the top attached to the bottom. Any ideas?

How neat and tidy do you want it? Do you expect to use it again and
again. I'd drill out the plastic and either use Rivnuts if practical or
Araldite-in threaded inserts otherwise if I wanted a proper job.
Otherwise Tim's duct tape....
