Those screws can be a right pain.. I have managed to snap a few, and I use good quality stainless steel ones.
The trick to employ is to get some soap or wax onto the thread before driving them in, reduces the chances of snapping the little beggars dramatically.
There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....
Thanks all. I sanded the back of the neck and filled all holes with what we in the states call plastic wood. It is made by DAP and is a solvent based fill. Will completely sand down in a couple of days and try again with new screws. Dingo is totally correct, next some wax or soap and good pilot holes. Not giving up !!! I really want to use this neck !
Thanks again.
