I find under-sizing the holes a bit and hitting the screws with a heat gun before picking them up with a magnetic screwdriver and screwing them in works really well.

Undersizing holes is just a brilliant way to ask for cracks down the road.

not if the screw melts the plastic, the same way heated threaded insert would?
