Bracket screws too weak

Everything about this unit meets my needs. However, if you need to realign the mounting bracket, problems can arise. The screws are very small Phillips pan head mounting screws that can be as large as Phillips #0. This is the size you would expect in a computer case, or even to hold the power strip case itself together, which it does. The problem is these bracket screws come so tight from the factory that they're sometimes difficult to remove, and two tiny screws on each end for a nearly Β£5 item is fine, but a silly design. A screw on one of the end brackets came out easily, but the other required rotating the bracket to remove it. That's 25% bounce. If both screws had the same problem I would have to go to extreme measures and probably destroy the old screws and buy new ones. Stupid design again.
