The RPS screws are driven in to the floor at a location that has embedded wood for additional support.

If these holes are stripped you have two options:

Overdrill the holes and fill with epoxy (Locktite Marine Epoxy) then tap for screws.

Use toggle bolts. Drill out the foam a little using an allen wrench.
