Anchoring screws in a lamp
I'm repairing a used high-intensity lamp with a magnifying lens that I
picked up. Three screw sockets are either split or disintegrated, probably from over-tightening. (See picture 1.) On one side of the lamp housing, I ground down part of the damaged socket with a Dremel and glued a plastic anchor in place bracing it with the side of the housing. (See picture 2.) I'm pretty sure this will work ok for that side. On the other side, the sockets are 1/2" from the side of the housing so there's nothing to support a plastic anchor. (See picture 3; sockets in picture 1 viewed from above.) I could use a suggestion on how to support these two screws.
