hispeedido shell's front plate screw holes are far too tiny

[harsh spade]

This is the second kit I've ever put together (first was a funnyplaying kit) and I'm finding the screws are far too difficult to actually get screwed in properly, as if the screws it came with are too big for the holes in the front plate. I tested the screws with the original GBA and found they fit the OG shell perfectly fine by screwing in them into the front plate, but even when testing the hispeedido shell in the same way I literally can't even fit the screws in at all. Any way i can work around this without risking stripping the hell out of the screws?

They all come like that because you are actually supposed to thread it yourself. Turn 2 times turn back 1 time, repeat the process firmly and slowly.
