If you have the vertical adjustment room to add a metal s h i m underneath the screw that would be a permanent fix. Maybe you could take a fender washer with a radius similar to the plate corner cut-out and cut a section of "pie" out of it to glue down into the corner. A hacksaw or dremel with cut-off wheel could easily do the washer trimming.

How would you suggest repairing the damaged corners ?
Metal shims, epoxy, other ??
You might clean out the damaged MDF corners with a forstner bit, then glue in a dime or nickle, or an electrical box knockout.
