Unless there’s an issue with your jacks holding or the mounts are compromised, just get under it sitting on the legs. If not gonna call on you. It’s been sitting on those legs when unloaded, for over 20 years now…
And you can use bigger screws yes or just sink em in in different spots if they’re stripped.
Don’t over think this. It’s not difficult.
Presumably you’d have to cut out a good size chunk if you’re going that route, no? Not a lot of backing in the field to be able to screw back in a small cutout. Nevermind the risk of cutting something else like a wire or a tank.
