I'd suggest perhaps using a small amount of any glue you intend to use, to bond the head of a flathead screw to some not-normally-visible part of the inside of the plastic case. Leave it for a few days then see how easy it is to remove the screw.

That way you'll at least get to see if the glue bonds successfully, or whether it turns the plastic into a quivering, slimy gelatinous mess.
