It seems to me that I would never have to worry about the screws being "welded" in place anymore. Screwdrivers are useless against these screws whenever this happens.

I used cage nuts too. Didn't have any rust being an Arizona/California truck, but they got cross threaded.
I use #3 phillips flush screws [1/4-20] with a 1/2'' wide head. Works well. Pickup has a home made ''custom'' wood panel. K/5 is padded in vinyl.
